Dear Haiti, Love Alaine
by Maritza Moulite, Maika Moulite
I wanted to love this book but unfortunately I didn't. At first glance the story was extremely appealing. I loved the idea of the visiting Haiti with all it's spiritualism. But for me there was just too much going on in this story. The beginning (before Haiti) too too long to get to. Then once we were in Haiti there were too many storylines and I found myself not caring.
One of my greatest joys of reading is letting the words wrap themselves around me and pull me in. I wanted to be in Haiti. But that never happened. I think this is mostly in part to the epistolary style of this story and not the authors writing.
I'm curious to see what what else these sisters have in store and will definitely consider another book from them.
Thank you to the publisher for this copy via Netgalley.
