I overall enjoyed reading this book, I found the history behind this book very interesting to learn and overall enjoyed most of our main protagonists especially Minerva she is a great character to look in to.

I finished this ages ago but I forgot to add it. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE IB BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. loved the uniqueness and distinct voices of the perspectives- the story was so heartbreaking, especially the end, as well. minerva is my favorite character although they are all so strong. mate's journal entries were so sweet and sad. i dont think my heart could handle watching the movie or show.

What a great read! Loved the respect shown to the memories of the sisters by the author. Unflinching look at societal ills in the DR and the seedy underside of Trujillo's regime and US' role in it.
