The Liars of Mariposa Island by Jennifer Mathieu

3.0

"The Liars" is a book about immigration and growing up. It's about mothers and their children, and how daughters and sons are often viewed (and treated) differently. I found it to be a quick read. The story unfolds across dual timelines and alternating narratives, which helps us empathise with both Elena, Carrie and Joaquin. I also enjoyed the h/t to Jesus and Mary Chain.
