Oof, this was a beautifully written, touching and loving portrait of Liliana. At first, it felt very weird to dive into her personal notes and letters, but I understand the authors choice to do this and eventually I did feel it was handled with care. Liliana had such immense emotional intelligence at such a young age, I was impressed by how she made sense of the world around her and her relationships. She left such a mark on the people in her life, even if some of them didn’t deserve her. Christina Rivera Garza brought her sister back alive through these pages and above anything that is just heartbreaking.
