Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

challenging medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I didn't like this book at all. I only finished it because I was hopeful it would take an interesting turn. I skipped past a lot of the main character's internal dialogue. Honestly, non of the characters were actually likeable, except for Estela. It's okay to have unlikable characters, but atleast make the story interesting.
