It has great reviews and is on many "recommended" lists for Latinx literature but I, unfortunately, couldn't get into it. I made it about half way, and I could see the themes of identity, and lack thereof, but the character-driven storyline wasn't leaving me invested, I guess. Stories of discovering lost identities following immigration to the US is so important to learn about, so I will most likely pick it up again and hopefully appreciate it the way all of the great reviews do! Anyone else have trouble getting through this book? If not, give me motivation to read it again please !! 😭 ✨✨ #latinx #latinos #latina #bookstagram #dominicanrepublic #latinxscreate #lit #fridakahlo #tbr #booklover #flowers #comolaflor #bookish #bibliophile #diverseathon #bookishfeatures #bookstagramfeature #weneeddiversebooks A post shared by Sabrina 🌺NYC 🌺🇵🇷🇨🇺🇮🇹 (@latinxreads) on Jan 23, 2017 at 4:16pm PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 6 Previous Next Start Slideshow BooksSocial Media
