a very crazy book that i don’t know how to describe, but i liked how it made me feel! i just keep being like how did she come up with all of that!! i love melissa lozada-oliva’s voice in this, it felt truly unique and was so funny. not sure if i picked up on all the symbolism, especially near the end, but i think that’s ok

I had such high hopes for this book! I’m glad I did not buy it physically. This story took a turn and the way that it was written was confusing. It was jumping back and forth. The magical realism element threw me off too, I wasn’t sure what to believe while reading it. The characters/daughters were such terrible people that they made it unbearable to get through. I did however like the plot twist. I don’t know if they explained why everything was happening, tuned out a bit towards the end, but I would’ve liked to understand what was going on.megansoetaert's review against another edition
