I gotta collect my thoughts and also watch a whole season of New Girl to counteract these vibes

This book is an adequate weekend/vacation read. The characters have potential to be interesting with their own internal biases and flaws, but there is barely any development. The Spanglish dialogue was refreshing and one of the few things that helped with character depth. However the rest of the writing style is so flat and tries too hard to be poetic and while failing. There was actually a line that read "the garage floor was grey like a garage floor" :/

Wish the book club hadn't picked this. On my own I wouldn't have read it, or would have dnf'd it.
