Over the years, this has become one of my go-to comfort books. I love all of the characters (especially Abuelita)! I also love how the philosophical questions and quotes from classic literature balance so well with the lighter sci-fi and romance elements. The action keeps the story moving quickly, and I get caught up in the suspense each time I read the book, even when I know what will happen. The author brings up so many questions about how memory shapes identity, and the relationship between reality and perception, and these questions keep me thinking about the book long after I've finished it.
