I'm a little torn about my rating for this book.
At the beginning I really like that this book would go around the topic of gentrification but then in the middle it felt a little lost.
Entonces, at the end things came together. And it all made sense.
This book does go around gentrification however I would have liked it to be the VERY central topic of it. I think Luz's relationship with Hugo took away a lil... or maybe it was me reading this book too slowly.
There's also the topic of privilege como Luz teniendo la dicha de ir a estudiar en Harvard mientras los demas no llegaron a tener estudios. Y por ensima los amigos de Hudson y Hudson en si. Like el cabron se cree Woke pero es medio pendejo.
Nada, what gave the most strength to this book was Eusebia's POV and her mental deterioration.

The drawings are cute, the story is nice enough. Sadly the main thing is thw Hades Persephone whinning about each other which puts me off but everything else is nice

This book was easy to read and short, which I liked for my end of the year read.
The whole book goes around the POV of a korean mother who has teouble coming to term with her daugthers life-style and the fact that she is a lesbian. Word she even has trouble saying out loud and accepting them.
While all of that happens she has a situation at work where she has a patient named Jen. The issue she has at work of being the odd mam out and people not seeing her point of view, its very similar to the situation at home of she not wanting to accept her daugther pov.
So the whole book is she navigating that, learnjng to accept it. All the while MOANING about how they are out to get her, and she raised her wrong and this is all terrible for HER.
Nada, it progresses and in the end we dont go full circle but progress is made. I think the book was well writen and narrated. :)

I had this one as an audiobook. And we know audiobooks are not the best option for me.
This book talks about trauma mainly. It is very straight forward. The author goes over what is trauma, how it happens, what it does to people, and ways to work around it. It mention things like grounding and diferent types of theraphy plus touches coping mechanisms including addiction.
My retention is honestly not the best as I am not the best at focusing on audiobooks.
Anyhow, the book is good enough. It is straightforward on the purpose and cover pretty well all the topics it intends to.
