Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice by Cristina Rivera Garza

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I ripped through this book. As someone who has a family history of domestic and intimate partner violence, this was triggering for me to read, but I couldn't put it down. It is written to beautifully and thoughtfully. Cristina Rivera Garza doesn't just retrace the years leading up to her sisters untimely death, she paints a picture of her sister's life and personhood in such a tender and loving way. I don't think I'll be quick to forget this book. One of the best books and memoirs I've ever read.
