I really wanted to like this book, but I think I came in with the wrong expectations. I really wanted a sorta coming of age story about a Haitian FMC and her struggles living in a Haitian household, culture references, the inner conflict of being both Haitian and American, food references, etc. Stuff like that. I went into this book blind which might have been on me because I had no idea what this was about before reading it. I honestly wanted to dnf this at page 30 because nothing in this was interesting me. I had been reading this on and off for a few days at this point. I wanted to give it till page 100 to see if I still wanted to dnf but obviously I couldn't even make it to that. I've read some reviews and there is praise for this book, but there is a lot of criticism and I honestly don't want to waste my time on a book I'm not enjoying.
