- Fortunately, it turned out that I couldn't be more wrong on my presumption of expecting some stories to be on repeat from the first book, because The Reaper surprised me in all possible ways and kept me more curious than ever. Loved all the unexpected twists, and it finally made me understand why this series was all over BookTok.
- Despite its cheap price, it turned into a relaxing read with the story of a young girl who faces lots of racial challenges as well as situations caused by being HIV-positive, which is often misunderstood by people. The book has only around 250 pages, and even if it's a pretty basic story with not too many twists, it still managed to avoid becoming a boring read, which I am grateful for.
- romance, young-adult [edit] I was afraid the story might become predictable, but the unexpected twists made the experience of reading this series worth every minute.
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F#ck was not only that, but also like a good friend you could have around you anytime you would open the book. Nevertheless, reading it came in a very delicate moment when I felt los,t which is quite a frequent mood I have lately, but accompanied by the right book, it really helps take that mood away at least for a while and even feel more determined to prove wrong to those who have a wrong impression of yourself, such as being a weak person.
- The book is quite a classic if you ask me, with romance, drama, tears of both happiness and sadness, but most importantly, a very cosy and chill read with the storyline happening in a decent rhythm to keep you both curious and relaxed at the same time. I loved how things evolved between Tate and Miles, although I could find some aspects similar in the overall story of this book and "Reminders of Him", but being a chill and nice read, it didn't bother me that much. Fully enjoyed it and can't wait to read more from her!
- I started to log my Goodreads data. I like to rediscover my favourite readings like this one. Javier Sierra is amazing, a great storyteller and writer.

- An extraordinary book on existentialist literature, a jewel of Latin American literature

- An extraordinary novel that stirs the fibers of your soul, words that reach your heart hard and precise.
