A review by zinelib
The Liars of Mariposa Island by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0
Caridad/Carrie, a Cuban-American mother and her two teenage children, Joaquin and Elena, live on an island off Texas (did you know that was a thing--it is!). The first half of the novel is narrated by 16-year-old Elena and the second by recent high school grad Joaquin with a few Caridad chapters interspersed.
The liars reveal takes a while, and when it does, it's a bummer for the women of the family. I need to take a little time with this because I'm a Jennifer Mathieu fan, but this book rubs me the wrong way. I'd love to hear what others think.
