How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water by Angie Cruz
5.0
This book is told through one of the most unique formats I've ever read and the end had me in tears. Rating this 5 stars was a no-brainer for me.
Cara Romero tells all about her life over the course of 12 sessions with a job counselor she's been set up with after losing her job in her 50s. During these unemployment appointments she talks about her past, her psychic, her estranged son Fernando, food, the Dominican Republic, why she moved to New York, her husband trying to kill and SO MUCH more. Just endless, incredible little stories told in a stream of consciousness to a captive audience.
I just adored this book. For one, Angie Cruz is an auto-read for me and I fell in love with Cara from the very first chapter. Cruz's writing is incredible and you immediately feel like you know Cara and are put right in the room alongside her and her counselor. Plus I am genuinely sad finishing this book and having to come to terms with the fact that Cara is not a real person, but a character.
