I wanted to enjoy this book but unfortunately after about 50 pages could not get into it. Thanks for the opportunity to read and good luck with the book. Thanks again

4.5 ⭐️ I was lucky to be selected as an ARC reader for this book, and it did not disappoint. I was HOOKED. Reading a romance about a couple already together was a refreshing perspective I haven’t encountered before. The idea of the cinema airing out the characters secret added an extra layer to what would have otherwise been a miscommunication trope, which can be difficult for me, and helped us see the character reaction to themselves. The only spot that was a little lacking was the depth of the characters. I feel like I didn’t get to dive too deep into the main characters personalities but I knew enough about them to root for them in the end. Overall an amazing story.

Ellie y Drake están comprometidos, se aman y no pueden esperar a casarse. Todo debería ser perfecto, o al menos estar bien, pero el trabajo de Ellie es cada vez peor y Drake no se siente contento con el suyo.
Un día, mientras caminan, encuentran un antiguo cine que anuncia la película: La historia de ti. Ambos, curiosos, entran. No hay nadie más en la sala, y se llevan una gran sorpresa cuando la película comienza: pueden ver recuerdos de su pasado, de cuando eran niños. Al principio creen que se trata de una broma, pero pronto se dan cuenta de que es real y que nadie más puede verla. Descubren que las películas están hechas exclusivamente para ellos y que serán diez en total.
Al principio, todo parece emocionante, pero conforme van viendo la vida del otro, empiezan a preguntarse si realmente deberían casarse.

Todo iba bien, pensaba darle 3.5 ⭐, pero cuando llegó la escena del anillo, la historia se arruinó por completo. Ya no pude creer que Drake realmente amara a Ellie. Por más explicaciones que dio, no pude quitarme la idea de que Ellie fue solo un reemplazo. Y para colmo que jamas fuera capaz de comprarle su propio anillo después de todo, no lo puedo perdonar.


Spoilers a continuación:

Ellie descubre que Drake le propuso matrimonio con el mismo anillo con el que le había pedido matrimonio a Melina (su ex). Y no solo eso, hay más cosas (las pondré más abajo). No entiendo cómo, después de descubrir que prácticamente toda su relación fue una recreación de la que él tuvo con la otra, Ellie no le aventó el anillo y lo dejó.


was right. I don’t know what the hell just happened. Maybe I forgot the details because they were hard for me. Almost like how you forgot.





“Well then,” Ellie said, “what do you love so much about me, Drake?”
“Oh, come on. Don’t do that. You know what I mean.”
“No. I really don’t.”
“Okay. Well, I love that you’re passionate and artistic, and we have so much fun together, and you appreciate old things—
“Huh. That sounds familiar.” Her face turned red. “ ‘I’ll love you forever,’ ” she recited. “I’ll love you forever?” Ellie stood and pushed the door to the living room open. Drake followed behind her. The record he’d put on earlier was skipping as they circled the coffee table like animals in a chase. It was tough to tell who had the advantage. Finally, the skipping stopped, but the music sounded like it was playing underwater because it was on Dorothy III. Nancy had ducked behind the couch to hide.
“I said the same thing to you,” Drake told her. He stopped moving and held his hands up. “That I’d love you forever. And I meant it.”
“Right. Thanks for making that point for me.” Ellie stopped straight across him. “You said the same things to both of us. You used the same ring, played me the same songs, took me to the same restaurants, watched the same movies, gave me the same sappy proposal. You love me because I remind you of her, Drake.” Ellie marched over to him. “You can’t even be original with who you love.”
