woowowowowow. This was an experience ! uhm. I liked what it had to say about latin america as a latine myself. All of the characters were detailed. I would have rated it 5 stars if it weren't for racist tropes towards characters who weren't the Buendia's as well as that whole end with heavy sexual content that was just disturbing! : D also the way it wrote women was,,,,,, conflicting.
