jahnvi_j 's review for:

2.0

the writing was at a 5th-grade level and the only reason we didn't read it in elementary was because of the sexual content. about the inclusion of the sexual content, couldn't alvarez find a way to humanize the mirabal sisters without using sex as a way to relate with them meanwhile also disrespecting them?? she (mostly) fabricated the whole entire story, which leads me to believe that the sisters didn't actually go through half of the romantic and sexual 'challenges' that were in the book.

it was also incredibly boring and none of the characters had any personality or development. not to mention the pointless metaphors.
