The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia Alvarez

stempiowilson's review

My goal is to DNF books i’m not feeling. At 50 pages it was clear I wasn’t engaged as mush as I wanted to be and I wasn’t excited to pick it back up. I struggle when books are written without quotation marks for dialogue and the characters did not win me over.
