There are two books on this earth which I love so deeply and will never recommend, because they hurt soooo amazingly. This is now one of them. If you want to pick up this book, especially if you’re Dominican or have family secrets you’ve contended with, have experienced loss, etc. DO IT. But I am not liable for how hard it hurt me. And in fact if it hurt you just as badly, let’s start a class action lawsuit. I am in my feelings, and having a dead father and a Dominican family who rather omit to “protect” got me all messed up.

I don’t ever reread books, but I think this one has convinced me. The audiobook is beautifully done. The emotion and love that went into this can really be felt.

I’m definitely going to get the physical book and read it again sometime. I typically wouldn’t listen to a book written in prose, but this was perfect. I’m excited to see how the  story flows now that I know the details I couldn’t piece together for the first half of the book.

Re: Pregnancy - a character gives birth prematurely at home. It's detailed, though not explicit. There's also the underlying fear that the baby will be stillborn or survive for a short period.

The baby survives.

I don’t frequently read novels in verse, and probably prefer prose, but this was evocative and captured my attention. I’m glad to have finally read it.
