The Farm by Joanne Ramos

4.0

---

I'm between three and four stars, but I'll give it 4 because the character development was supreme, especially since each chapter alternates. I thought it was incredible to do so from third person versus first. I didn't have any idea what the point was or where the story was going until 80% of the way through the book. Even then, I was a little disappointed at the ending. I understand the book is largely social commentary with special consideration to culture, immigration, gender, and power differentials, but wish there was a little more oomph to the story's main action point 80% through the book. Overall, I found it entertaining, but not sure if i would recommend it or not.
