I listened to the audio book and I highly recommend it. The narrator, Rossmery Almonte, does an amazing job bringing Cara to life. Cara Romero is a Dominican immigrant who wants to work. She reminds me of so many women in my life and it was really a treat to listen to this. The story does get intense at points. Check out the trigger warnings for this.However, Cara has a such a full life that is worth telling. I found myself rooting for her even when she did things I didn't like. She is human and is trying her best in this crazy messed up world we live in. I love Cara.
