Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maritza Moulite, Maika Moulite
4.0

"I received a review copy from Amazon Vine and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review."

First things first I love this cover so much!

Alaine has been sent to Haiti after a school presentation/prank gone wrong. Throughout this story we are introduced to different characters and to be honest it was a little overwhelming at times. The story would also flip from journal entries, emails, text messages, postcards and I found it made the story choppy and hard for me to connect to the story. I have read over 200 pages of this book so far and I’m not really sure what is going on plot wise besides the “insert spoiler”. As much as I wanted to love this book, I had to sadly bow out gracefully and dnf this story. Just because I didn’t enjoy the book please don’t let my review stop you from reading.

Update:
This book wouldn’t leave me alone so I decided to pick it up again. I have to say I’m glad I did! I ended up enjoying the second half of the book way better, I felt the writing was better and everything I read prior started to connect and make more sense. So this ended up being a nice read that made me happy.
