I read most of this book on audio and I’m about to say something I’ve never said before… the audio makes it better 🫢🎧
Narrator Rossmery Almonte brings Cara Romero to life and the seemingly small, but impactful sound effects make you feel like you’re really listening to Cara’s recorded tapes.
But of course, what would the audio be without Angie Cruz’s storytelling. Cruz wrote a beautiful story about one woman and her journey of escaping domestic abuse, immigrating to the US, being a single mother, surviving the Great Recession, losing loved ones, becoming a caretaker, and learning about herself along the way.
Cara Romero is complex and flawed, but you can’t help but root for her and hope everything works out for her in the end.
This would be a great audiobook for anyone who doesn’t usually like them, but I also can confirm that having read part of the physical book, it still packs a punch.
