My Train Leaves at Three by Natalie Guerrero

4.25

I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into when I read this book. But I fell in love with the perfectly imperfect main character, Xiomara, with her powerhouse voice and two left feet. I ached for those bad decisions she made, I felt her rage at unfair events, and was thankful for those who supported her despite her poor choices. Xiomara has a lot of story to tell, and I really enjoyed following along. At about 85%, I was a happy content reader. After that, the remainder of the book felt like someone told the author everything needs to be tied up prettily and nicely. (You know I don't like that.) But maybe the book was just too short to stop at 85%? It certainly felt like a longer, more expansively book than the page count implies!

Thanks to Random House One World for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
