Miscommunication tropes are ass but throw in two book lovers & writers! Kind of a solid combo.
informative medium-paced

This really was an ode to an LA family.  A very unique Mexican and Jewish family.  I couldn't just give it a three for it just being a story that follows one family it was so interesting and every character was unique.  A lot of secrets, heartbreak, heartache and just life in general.

Absolutely speechless once I finished this novel. I'm tearing up just typing this review out. I was horrified by men in this novel, I knew the minute they mentioned his life vest that something would happen.  The voice actor was phenomenal. This book broke my heart into a thousand pieces, especially the parts with Umm Ibrahim.  I don't know how I finished this book. Actually I do, this piece of work was so sad and beautiful, the writing just blew me away.
