I think I would have liked this book more if there was more about Glory. I appreciate the stories of the other women, and I think I understand that a white woman might not want to say too much in the voice of a Latina girl (which is also a big problem I have with the choice of narrators… I think they did a great job but…. I was shocked. A book where one of the main focuses is race and it’s all told by white women…) anyway, that’s why I gave it 4 not 5
