Dear Haiti, Love Alaine
by Maritza Moulite, Maika Moulite
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.
I am excited to see the book in finished/published format as I am a sucker for books with unique styling such as emails, bits and bobs (thinking of you Illuminae and Carbon Diaries). Sadly, the digital arc was a bit hard to decipher at times as the order of bold or red type was out of place.
As for the story itself, I enjoyed the first half of the book very much. I love that Alaine ended up in Haiti to reconnect/recover her heritage, but the family curse confused the hell out of me and I still don't know what to make of it.
I also appreciate how the authors covered alzheimer's as it seems to be a missed topic, especially in YA fiction, so kudos to them! Hoping for more with Alaine's story and more from the authors!
