A review by heykellyjensen
The Liars of Mariposa Island by Jennifer Mathieu

This was a really solid read, about the children of a Cuban immigrant who struggles with alcoholism as a means of dealing with grief. I wasn't super taken with the structure of the book -- the voice changing didn't have a consistency to it and the chapter dividers were odd (may be more clear in the final version, as I read an ARC). I did love the exploration of lying in a way that was less about deceit and more about protection.
