This is a heartwarming and relatable read that will resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced loss, is seeking a story of hope and healing, and is drawn to tales of female friendship, family dynamics, and the transformative power of love and forgiveness.

I thought Yesica was annoying most of the time because of how she treated her mother vs how she treated others but I really enjoyed this book. I loved the Spanish phrases incorporated into the story and I loved Yesica’s growth (it took forever in my opinion). My favorite part was when she confronted that horrid mother-in-law of hers and I was glad when she got to say her goodbyes to her father-in-law, who was nothing like his wife. Such a sad way to say goodbye but it was good for her.

This was a random pick from KU and I definitely picked it because it was centered around the lives of three Latina women living under the same roof once again. My first ever book by Annette and I think I might have just become a fan. This book was well-written and it was easy to read. I recommend it 100%
