I loved this book. The authors do an incredible job of creating a story you will love with a character you will be sad to say good bye to when you reach the final page.
I felt like they were giving me a crash course in Haitian culture while a funny, engaging story unfolds around us. There is so much goodness in this book. I love every bit of it, from the cover to the story to the smart, ambitious, lovable Alaine.

I can't wait to buy a copy of this book for my daughter to read!

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts
