The Bullet Swallower by Elizabeth Gonzalez James

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This surprised me, I quite liked it! The prose is quite good and this felt like a great tie of jumping between stories, but also bringing the very beginning back in the end, in a smooth way. I did get lost at times in some of the detail but I dont blame the book, I just think parts werent perfect for me. Its highly rated but not a FAVORITE of mine, if that makes sense? Idk i still recommend it overall!
