Rosa is a complex character; beautiful,tough, smart, loving,engaging, coarse, and deeply thoughtful.

The story of her childhood is agonizingly painful, as is her early adulthood filled with drugs, and sexual exploitation at the hands of truly evil men. She manages to lift herself up with help from other abused women. She seduces magician Fletcher Brandon with great sex, wit, humor and her brand of brashness. She can never fully trust any man even one as loving, patient and supportive as Fletcher; she remains justifiably vulnerable, and resistant to a full committal to a long deep relationship.

When she leaves for Amsterdam he finds out that she has been more of a magician than he.

A smart, compelling, fascinating read about love, friendship, comfort, betrayal, and grace. .

2 Stars.

The 2 stars are for the writing and the brilliant structure. I didn't like either mc but I can appreciate that this is an exploration of young adults struggling with feeling stuck in their own lives. I really wish I cared more about the characters because then I think this would have been a much more suspenseful read.

Fletcher Brandon, apodado Red, es un ilusionista profesional que consigue el truco de su vida cuando una noche logra seducir a Rosa Kelly, una atractiva muchacha. Ésta parece corresponderle, al menos durante el año en que viven juntos, hasta que muere misteriosamente atropellada por un tren expreso. Atormentado por el dolor, pero también perplejo por los extraños episodios que va descubriendo del pasado de Rosa, Red tratará de averiguar por su cuenta y riesgo quién tenía motivos para querer asesinarla. Su investigación le conduce a los bajos fondos de Amsterdam, allí mientras trata de eludir las amenazas de los traficantes de droga y las redes de prostitución, este mago en apuros deberá dilucidar qué hubo de cierto y qué de ilusorio en su relación con Rosa, y, en definitiva, qué hay de verdad y de falsedad en toda relación amorosa.… (plus d'informations)

Alex wakes up one morning in Phillip (Flip)'s body and finds he has lost 3 months of his life and now has a new sister parents and a dog plus two girlfriends. As Alex, he was the nerd who played the clarinet, as Phillip he is the good-looking boy with loads of friends who plays sport. What has happened? Alex sets out to discover what has happened to "Alex" - is he dead? And to try and get back to his old life all the while pretending he is Phillip. (SPOILER ALERT Alex is in a Coma /PVS )
Great one for pondering life's big questions of what makes us who we are.
