The story was slow at points, and I had to set page goals to keep myself from putting it down in the beginning. That being said, the last 1/3 of the book made it a worthy read.

What a fantastic story of women loving women in Uruguay. I learned a lot of history. I felt seen. I really love that this story exists in the world. I had a hard time following so many characters but I still definitely loved it. I think anyone who’s ever loved a woman needs to read this book!

So good. Deeply sad yet hopeful. I grew to love all of the characters in this novel. They each have their own stories and traumas that resulted from living under a dictatorship, but the bond they have and the progress that is made is captivating.
