Wait For It by Mariana Zapata

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.

Was really liking the book, although everything was taking a really long time to find out. Like at almost half way I don’t know how the brother died or what exactly happened to the wife. I was expecting this slow pace from reading the Wall of Winnipeg and Me previously and was ready to just push through. Then I found out she’s made some suspiciously racist remarks about Filipinos on twitter and even in two of her books. Super disappointing to find out as I liked that Diana was Mexican American in this one.
