3 generations of women with similar heartbreaks. History repeats itself when Yesica, Ana and the matriarch Mama Melda all become widows. Secrets, internal battles and 2nd chances.

I absolutely loved this powerful story of perseverance. The Mexican representation and culture was beautiful. Heartbreakingly perfect.

This book was so beautiful. I can't even explain it. I loved the different struggles each woman was going through and how they connected. I'll keep saying this was a beautiful book because it it. The way Annette can make you understand each character and support them. I love strong Latine women.

I got an alc of this book on NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
