I really enjoyed the opening sections  of the novel. Amabelle is a very interesting character. Her style of speech is what most drew my attention. She seems to flutter between reality and thoughts very quickly. What I enjoy about that is that it makes her seem more real. Each of us do the same thing; think and go. The introduction of her dead parents in the opening drew me in and immediately made me ache for her. She seems to be desperate for love but afraid to commmit to love for fear of loss. Her boyfriend Sebastien is what I would like to call in the grey. He is a smooth talker but an obvious hard worker. He seems to understand her and give her the perfect balance of dependability and love that she is looking for without the fears of losing someone. He is the only one that can comfort her and I immediately became haooy for her in reading that. The birth of the child of senora Valencia gave me chill bumps. I became nervous , excited, and scared all in one emotion, because I immediately connected loos to Amabelle and assumed one of the children or both would die. To my delight they are seemingly healthy. The into to this novel gave me a plethora of emotions.
