Fun read with a fascinating historical backdrop! Perhaps my favorite part was that the heroes of this story are rather unexpected, and grow over the course of the book. Maite is actually the reason I would say this book is kind of inspiring. She is a women exiting her youth, who has sat on the side line of her own life. She seems caged by her own insecurities, fear, and disappointment. But through this adventure she learns to take charge of her life, think beyond herself, and take the risks she has always wanted to take. This book is a fun mystery to read in and of itself, but I would also recommend it to anyone who is looking for a little inspiration in the face of a life that feels stagnant or disappointing, a reminder that you have permission change things.
