The Priory of the Orange Tree
Samantha Shannon
by Alice Kellen
Grace Peterson has spent her entire life defined by a singular, crushing purpose: to save her sister. When that purpose vanishes following a tragic loss, Grace is left adrift in the suffocating monotony of her small-town Nebraska existence. Feeling invisible and hollow, she unexpectedly discovers "The Map of Longings," a mysterious game that promises to reveal who she truly is beneath her grief.
The first instruction leads her to Will Tucker, a stranger whose life is as enigmatic as the path laid out before them. Together, they embark on a journey that transcends physical distance, forcing them to confront their deepest vulnerabilities and the dreams they long ago abandoned. As they navigate the map’s challenges, an intense, unexpected connection forms, tethered by shared secrets and the fragile hope of healing.
However, the closer they get to the end of their route, the more the weight of their hidden truths threatens to unravel everything. In this poignant tale of self-discovery, Grace and Will must decide if the risk of being truly known is worth the possibility of a future they never imagined. As the line between the game and reality blurs, they are forced to ask: who are they, really?

"Tenía tiempo queriendo retomar la lectura así que me puse a investigar libros que fueran a corde a lo que desea leer, amo las novelas románticas asi que supuse que este podria ser bueno para empezar. Solo les diré que esta buenísimo aún no lo termino estoy un poco mas de la mitad pero te atrapa, me puso a pensar en cosas con las que me senti identificada y hasta lloras por que lloras si eres un der sensible como yo. Lo super recomiendo. ["
