I truly enjoyed this semi short novel about Monica Flores and her mother Paula Flores. It shows how turbulent mother -daughter relationships can be, particularly within the Latinx community. The Peruvian culture was prevalent with this one which I enjoyed also. The only part that I wish had been discussed a little more was how did Monica and her mom get to where they were in their relationship. I understand Monica’s day to day was needed for this character driven novel but sometimes the work discussions felt a little much at times
