First, I want to thank NetGalley for this opportunity!
This book was simply a pleasure to read, and reflect on each text the author wrote. Everything was meticulously thought out, the rhymes, the way of presenting, the thin red line that linked all together.
I really loved it.
I don't have much to complain about, because everything is there. The writing, the emotions, the coherence, everything you need to be into it, is there.
