The Affairs of the Falcóns by Melissa Rivero
2.0
I wanted to read this for so long. I finally got around to it and I was disappointed.
The writing is beautiful and full. This is not a quick read and you need to really being pay attention while reading.
There were way too many characters to keep track of. The Ana, Betty , Carla (abc ) was strangely annoying to me lol like where they character a b and c and then just given names? It was distracting which is probably a me thing and completely irrelevant to anyone else.
The story itself was good and interesting but I just feel like we didn’t get the relevant things fleshed out. It was always just on the verge of being juicy but didn’t go in depth about what was going on.
The last page was finally like what!? But even that wasn’t as dramatic and juicy as it could have been. I wanted to know more in depth about how the characters were feeling. Ana (I think .. too many people to keep track of) was having a pretty hard time and felt so alone and in survival mode even with her husband there with her and even staying with family. This was a reminder that not everyone is keeping your best interests in mind. People are focusing on themselves and sadly you should to. Even Lucho was barely paying attention or helping her. This book was sad but I didn’t feel sorry for the characters because it wasn’t deep enough. (I hope that makes sense)
