Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maritza Moulite, Maika Moulite

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so great that I basically read it in one sitting, I couldn't put it down. Alaine Beauparlant is a senior in high school who is dealing with family issues that have made their way into her social interactions at school. After "The Incident" at school leaves Alaine suspended from school, and on a trip to her parents native Haiti to volunteer she begins to learn more about her distant mother and her family history.

I love this book so much! The mixture of contemporary fiction with magical realism drew me in and had me hooked!
