Can't wait to read more from this author. I loved this book and it has become one of my favorites! There were moments when I was swept away by the story, but just as often, I found myself counting pages to the end of a chapter, then interspersing other books.First, the drawbacks: the dialogue on this one was pretty weak. Since it was kind of hard to put all of them in one single "normal" book, Dueñas piles them up by turning a mini series (each devoted to one or to clichés) into a single book.This book was written in the first person but there was one section where it reverted to third person as the character who was writing the story could not have known what was happening in that section as it was occurring in another country.
