I see the purpose of this story--telling the story of two individuals living in Cuba during the hardships of dictatorship and U.S. embargo and the day to day struggles. However, I had a hard time connecting with the characters and their relationship did not feel developed (lots of poems about love but not a lot of time spent on why they loved each other). So, overall, I just didn't connect with this one.
