I'd Give Anything by Marisa de los Santos
3.0
3.5 stars
I finally read a Marisa de los Santos! Despite the heavy themes, it felt weirdly light. I didn't *want* the book to make feel feel sad and heavy, but the lightness of hand didn't seem to match the subject.
Maybe what I'm looking for is "self-contained." The world did not intrude on the characters; they intruded on it. Everything that happened was a choice (sometimes a bad one).
