Book Review: Tres meses (Meses a tu lado, #3) by Anabel Botella
As I opened Tres meses, the third installment in Anabel Botella’s Meses a tu lado series, I couldn’t help but feel a familiar excitement wash over me. Having loved her previous works, I was eager to dive back into her vibrant world of relatable characters and poignant moments. Botella’s ability to weave together romance and self-discovery draws me in every time, and this book was no exception.
In Tres meses, we follow the journey of Nora, a young woman grappling with the complexities of love and identity. Having faced substantial challenges, both personally and in her relationships, Nora’s story is an exploration of resilience and growth. The narrative unfolds over three transformative months—hence the title—where each chapter marks a pivotal turning point for both her and the supporting characters. The dynamics between Nora, her close friends, and a potential romantic interest add layers of complexity. I found myself rooting for Nora as she navigated heartbreak, friendship, and ultimately, self-acceptance.
One of the standout themes in this book is the exploration of what it means to truly know oneself before fully opening up to others. Botella’s writing style shines with its warmth and sincerity. Her prose is both lyrical and accessible, drawing the reader into Nora’s world as if we are walking beside her, sharing in her triumphs and failures. The pacing felt just right, allowing moments of introspection without losing the momentum of the story. It was a beautiful balance that kept me turning pages late into the night.
I was particularly moved by some of Nora’s reflections on love, especially when she shared, “Amar no significa perderse en el otro, sino aprender a encontrarse a uno mismo.” The idea that love should complement rather than consume us struck a deep chord with me. It’s these thoughtful snippets, woven throughout the narrative, that made me stop and reflect on my own experiences with love and friendship.
Tres meses is not just a romantic tale; it’s a gentle reminder of the importance of self-love and authenticity. Botella has a knack for creating characters that feel like friends, and I found myself laughing, crying, and celebrating alongside them. Each character is beautifully crafted, with flaws and strengths that make them feel real and relatable.
I believe this book will resonate deeply with readers who enjoy contemporary romance sprinkled with moments of personal reflection. It invites us to question not just our relationships but also our own identities and desires. If you’ve ever experienced the tumult of young love or the challenge of finding your place in the world, Tres meses will surely touch your heart.
Reading this book was a joy—an escape into a world that both challenges and comforts. I finished it feeling uplifted and eager to recommend it to friends, knowing that they would find a piece of themselves within its pages. So, grab a cozy blanket, and prepare to get lost in Nora’s journey—it’s one you won’t want to miss!
