i ... don't think i liked this? i wanted to, and at first i thought i did since i think the writing is very well done at first, and i certainly learned a lot about Puerto Rican history which I'm very thankful for. but it conveys those messages in very clunky dialogue that took me out of the book, and the direction they took with the mom's plotline/letter writing was a bit unexpected and seemed to paint the entire movement in a negative light.
