Excellent writing. Story gripped me from the beginning and wouldn’t let go.

The main characters were built thoughtfully yet mysteriously. Each one keeping something for themselves. It’s a story that unravels the inner most troubles of each character in a segmented/fragmented way - that keeps the story interesting and engaging. The only thing I felt was missing was a wish for stronger more meaningful relationships between the characters. Though I realize that it was written in such a way to depict these strained relationships- I wanted so badly for Jeanette and her mother to connect emotionally. Overall a great read and recommend this novel, especially to Latinx women.

Such a good book! As a daughter of an immigrant from El Salvador, this resonated with me so much.

I stopped reading this by the second chapter. I dont think i could of finished.

This is not the story I was expecting based on the description. Too many different characters’ perspectives that lacked cohesion. The chapters were very long.

I would get caught up in a story line and she would switch to another and not circle back. It felt like short stories, not a novel. No follow through with the characters and awkward flow.
