A review by japamela
Ordinary Girls by Jaquira Díaz

5.0

I loved her writing style and brilliant descriptions. As a kid who grew up around the same time, all of her vivid references were familiar for me, but in a very different scenario. I often don't like when authors jump around in time, but for a memoir like this, it really worked. It felt like she was telling you the story naturally and as she remembered things, she'd bring them up. This is not the type of book that you can pick up and put down or you will forget those points that will come back later in the book.
