Thank you to NetGalley and Algonquin Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoy the concept of this book, and I was excited to read it. However, I did not feel that the book captured my attention for more like 30% of the book. The majority of the book I just felt disinterested and did not know where anything was going.
Getting Filomena, Perla, and Manuel’s POVs were the best parts because I loved finding out their connections to each other and Alma + her sisters. After that, I became disinterested again.
