A review by abbie_
Quesadillas by Juan Pablo Villalobos

funny reflective fast-paced

I seem to have forgotten how to read in the last few days 🥲 My lukewarm reaction to this book is likely down to the lack of straightforward plot and my scattered brain. A plot is never something I usually need to enjoy a book, but it does help when your concentration span is AWOL. I devoured the first 100 pages of this 180 page book in one sitting, and then it took me three days to drag myself through the rest. While the narrative does slow down somewhat in the second half, don’t let my experience stop you from reading it if you feel like some absurd Mexican satire. This book is wry and smart and doesn’t hold back on exposing classism and corruption. There’s a lot packed into this slim volume that’s worth reading if it sounds up your alley!
