This was a really entertaining audiobook! I absolutely fell in love with our main character, Cara Romero. She is so human that she feels like a real, off-page person. You get to know her so well and the author gives you just enough information to keep you always wanting more about Cara’s life. Beautifully told story.

this epistolary novel absolutely caught me by surprise! In HOW NOT TO DROWN IN A GLASS OF WATER Dominican immigrant Cara Romero carefully describes her life to her job counselor over twelve sessions. Artful, lush, heartbreaking, and hopeful. I won't forget this one anytime soon. THIS is the sort of novel I truly love to read.
