The plots & POVs were handled awkwardly. The narrator transitioned randomly within chapters. The two storylines didn't line up until the last ten pages, giving this book a dissonance that bled into focus issues for me as a reader. At just under 150 pages, it's a quick read, but at the cost of depth of characters & plot. Hopefully the Spanish reads better. That is one redeeming factor: the Spanish original is included with the English translation.
