RIP Ana Mendieta. Rot in hell Carl. This was a heart warming, gut wrenching story (very character driven) inspired by the forgotten Latina artist, Ana Mendieta. I think it’s safe to say her husband killed her, which is the case in this story. 

The story was moving slowly for the first half, but then things picked up and I was captivated. Although I wish Raquel would’ve learned about Anita a little sooner, it seemed a little last minute. 

Unlike any book I’ve ever read before!
