Que hijueputa libro and for those not B2 in Colombian, what a fucking good book.
I started this with my expectations high, which means I was also really scared I would be disappointed. I am very glad I was not.
This book is a ride, it took me, as always, a good 30% of it to get into the story, but then I couldn't stop, and then at some point in the 50-something% I fully believed risking my sleeping schedule just to keep reading was worth it (it was)
The illustrations, the care put into Benigno and his connection to Puerto Rico y Tità Luz, the story, I simply loved everything and you could see it was made with love too. If I could go directly to Venessa's house and give them an ancheta to congratulate her I would in a heartbeat.
A simply beautiful book, I'd love to live in this world forever.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me an arc in exchange of an honest review.
