While I loved the idea of this story the execution was just not for me. I found myself bored during most of the read unfortunately. I do however think the characters, setting, and plot were really interesting.

This book was on the recommended shelf at my local library and on a whim I checked it out. This was a challenging read because there were a lot of characters and a decent amount of Spanish. I'm ashamed that I don't speak fluent Spanish and I found myself in a familiar loop of skipping the phrases I didn't know. The few that I did were impactful and felt like I was connecting with the book more. But overall I found the 4 stories that were simultaneously being told underwhelming because the women don't really overcome anything!
