I need some time to process everything. Thank you.

I'm really, really tempted to give this a 5 stars rating because I enjoyed every word. But the ending seemed rushed, so I'll go with 4.5 stars.

Man, this book has been SO relatable!!! We all think others people's lives are perfect, and sometimes we thrive to accomplish the same things. However, in the end, no one's life is perfect. This story was a clear example of that, and I'm glad it showed the real side of life (and Instagram).

I never read chick lit before, but Sophie Kinsella has definitely won me over. I think I might read more books by her in the future.

That. Ending.

WHAT!!!!????

Este libro se merece una calificación más alta. Me hizo reír y la historia fue súper atrapante. Lo único que me pareció extraño fueron los “amoríos” que tuvieron las Bennet. Además, al final hay un personaje que espero —realmente espero— que no aparezca en el siguiente libro de esta serie porque no tiene nada que ver con el Orgullo y Prejuicio original.

Es la primera vez que un libro romántico me encanta. Excelente historia y personajes increíbles. Lo único que me pesa es no haberlo leído antes.

No leí el libro original de Jane Austen, pero esta versión me divirtió bastante. Por momentos se me venía a la mente las escenas de Los Piratas del Caribe, pero supongo que es por el parecido físico entre Davy Jones y el Coronel Brandon.

Me encantó la adaptación que hizo Junji Ito. Su arte es admirable y en este volumen se apreció eso.

Actual rating: 3.5 stars

There are a LOT of characters. So if you're bad at remembering names, it may be a good idea to write them down and the roles they play in each chapter. The story in general was interesting. It offered an unique view to the characters and how they grew up in almost 20 years. The only thing that bothers me is that I guessed 80% of the main twists, so it wasn't surprising when I read them. Besides that, it was a great book.

Actual rating: 3.5

I liked Leo, the main character, but what I couldn't understand was his “love” for Beatrice. That's what kept me from giving this book a higher rating. I liked all the story in general, and Silvia was my favorite character.

I definitely didn't see THAT ENDING coming! Are you for real? I mean, I thought I knew the motives of each character, but that final twist just destroyed me (in a good way, though). Too bad only three books of this series are in English! 😫

I am Beyond Bewitched with this book! This is one of the best story I have read in a long time!!!
I don't recommend reading this one if you at least haven't watched the anime. There are some crucial details that you wouldn't be able to understand; therefore, read the manga o watch the anime first.

The pace was slow, but yet intriguing. I liked Nora and how she was so freakin' honest about being a writer. The story was mildly interesting. However, the ending was too rushed.

I was getting bored until chapter 16. Then, I couldn't stop. The suspense was great and the story, unpredictable.

That was incredible!!!

This wasn't as creepy as I thought it would, but I enjoyed it (specially the ending). I read the book instead of watching the movie because usually movies are poor adaptations. However, I don't think I'll watch the movie because it looks completely different from the original story.

That was pretty good! I didn't like the ending though...

Rating: 3.5

Cuando una fallida relación amorosa te hace cuestionarte el significado de la vida.

Confieso que me fue un poco difícil entender los diferentes formatos que tiene esta novela. Entendía por partes quién era el narrador o a qué se refería, pero por otros momentos, me perdía. Sin embargo, pese a esos inconvenientes, esta historia fue interesante de leer. La protagonista, Claudia, pasa por un divorcio muy difícil y a eso se le suma el hecho de que está lejos de su país. La forma en que la autora retrató esos sentimientos tan complejos fue muy real. Se puede sentir el dolor a través de la narrativa y de las vivencias del personaje.

Algo que me gustó sobre Claudia es que lejos de permitir que la depresión y la soledad la consuman, ella comienza un viaje para descubrir aspectos de sí misma que creía perdidos. Además, durante toda esa travesía, ella empieza a cuestionar sus creencias sobre Dios y la religión; estos capítulos del libro agregaron un toque filosófico a la lectura, y eso me pareció muy profundo y conmovedor.

Este libro es una historia de un amor que salió mal, pero que tiene un final más que feliz. Nuestras fronteras es recomendable para aquellos que quieran sumergirse en un viaje de descubrimiento y análisis de las cuestiones más importantes de la vida.

Honestly, I was going to give up with this book. It was kinda boring in the beginning, but it got waaay more interesting and fast paced. I'm glad I finished reading, it was surprisingly good.

Wow, never expected a manga like this. Now I know it was based on a book, I shall read it too!

4.5 stars

This book captivated me from page one. The story was gripping and it had a good mixture between suspense and romance.

I really liked the main characters. Jamie was such a strong woman, but frail at the same time. Chandler was a perfect gentleman, very supportive and fun to read. And, of course, I absolutely loved Aslan (the dog), and the Narnia references.

By other side, another strong point of this story is how it portrayed sexual abuse and the victim's suffering. It didn't only show how destroying it is for the victims, but also offered hope for them and their families.

I haven't read the other books in this series, but I hope they're as good as this one!

This story was just perfect. I have nothing else to say...

Travis Thrasher is one of my favorite authors, so if he writes a book, I'll read it. And this time, it was one of the main reasons I picked up this book. I watched the trailer for the film Indivisible, and I thought it would be really sad to watch (I usually avoid sad movies), so I decided to read the book instead. I'm glad I did because it was really really deep. The characters development was awesome, and i enjoyed it until the end. Romance it's not my favorite genre, but this time I had high hopes for the main couple. Plus, I loved the spiritual side of this book; it was real, honest, and left me with hope.

Looks like I'm the minority here. This book has been receiving four or five stars, and I don't quite get the hype. I mean, it was an OK story, but that's all. Unfortunately I couldn't find the characters interesting. Their abilities were awesome - they were like killing machines -, but while I was reading they seemed one dimensional and there was no character development. I don't know if it's because it's just the first book in the series, but I couldn't connect with them. The story overall was interesting enough to keep me reading, though I'm afraid I won't be continuing this series, just because I can't see the point of doing so. However, a lot of people seem to like this book, so maybe you should give it a try.

I loved the light novel and this one too. The art was compelling and it made so much justice to the story. I wish there would be more volumes, though.

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

I should know by now that reading before bed is something dangerous, but I couldn't help myself and I started and finished this book in a few hours. I has been a wild ride.

I wasn't expecting surprises or twists because I thought the story would just move forward. However, the plot was so well constructed that the story became more complex and profound that I imagined. Also, the psychological aspect of the book made pause and wonder about the difficult relationships in the families.

My first impression of the characters was completely shattered as the story progressed, and I'm glad for that because it showed me that the mystery was deeper than I initially expected.

In general, it was an awesome book, and I'm glad I read it. I'm eager to see more upcoming books of this author.
