i’m stuck between these two ratings because the book was something i didn’t expect. like yes we learn about two daughters that found eachother but honestly this book was so much more.
this book was so heavy. and the writing style made it the book so easy to fly through but also gave it so much emotion. i’m in love with these characters bc i connected with them on so many levels.
being dominican, this book was such a huge representation for the community. and having family in DR, the story really portrayed everything it was so realistic that it hurt.
i love this book because of the representation, the characters, the story. just yes. (my favorite quotes belong on pages 323 and 416!)
