There was a lot of cool cultural element to the story. I did struggle with Carmen though. Her character growth took far too long to come about and by the end of it she was just being a dick because she could … so that made it hard because I get where she was coming from but she wasn’t listening to anyone else. And she held onto to shit for so long and simply missed out on what she could have had. It was an enjoyable narrator to listen too.
