Sammy Espinoza's Last Review by Tehlor Kay Mejia
4.0
God damn this book made me cry more than once…
I really enjoyed reading this book. Sammy is lost searching for stable ground surrounding all things life, which is entirely relatable. I loved that fact that everything that she needs to work on was up front and center. Willa and Brook are the best friends/ family you need to help guide and advise you while still staying in your corner. Knowing that there is always someone is there. Paloma, Sammy’s grandma, is probably my favorite. She has that distinct personality of loving but also don’t mess with me and I’ll do what I want. Max is also pretty lost and is trying to figure things out in his life too. This book does follow trauma on both sides and unhealthy coping mechanisms that both need to face and work on.
I love how everything was described in this book so I could picture everything going on and create the scene in my head.
My only qualm about the book is that the actions towards the end from from both Sammy and Max were slightly off-putting. I felt like it didn’t match where they both were at and didn’t come together the right way in the end.
Overall, I think this is a great book with great characters that depicts someone who is trying to better themselves.
I was sent an eARC by Penguin Random House through NetGalley for an honest review.
