The writing in this book is easy to read and quite beautiful in some parts. What let it down for me is that I didn’t feel that there was a satisfying conclusion or tying of loose ends to many of the issues brought up throughout the book. With so many characters, there was a lot to explore and I feel like the book got lost in connecting everything together rather than fleshing out the main plot of Soledad and her mother’s relationship.

Beautiful writing, a beautiful story of a mother and daughter rekindling their broken relationship. Definitely would recommend to a friend.

"My mother has the kind of face that when she smiles it makes you want to cry."
