My Sister Rosa by Justine Larbalestier
3.0
Read as a readalong 👠with Gleidis, Dahiana y Radha
Emotions: 😊Intrigued, annoyed with the YA aspect of this book, apathy and disappointment for the love story, satisfacción.
Recommended if you: Like psychological thrillers and coming of age stories.
This is the story of Che’s little sister Rosa, he thinks she may be a psychopath. We follow Che’s family as they move to New York to start a new chapter of their life.
I was disappointed with the story because it focused too much in Che’s love life, boxing and making friends, and it didn’t devote more time to Rosa and her behavior. It suffered from telling and not showing, and that annoyed me. I wish this was more an adult book than YA.
The book drags a lot in the middle, it was a bit boring. If you like diversity, there’s a lot in here.
I hated Che’s parents and their newagy way of raising their kids. I was intrigued with Rosa and wanted more of her. I liked the way the story wrapped up, and the things we learned at the end..
Overall I liked it, it was fast paced, interesting and intriguing, but I needed more Rosa and less of Che’s angst and love storyline. I recommend it.

I wasn’t shock to find out about David, I saw it coming, and I also knew that Che probably had some of the same psychopath traitsOverall I liked it, it was fast paced, interesting and intriguing, but I needed more Rosa and less of Che’s angst and love storyline. I recommend it.
