This book sets up a lot of stuff and only gives you bread crumbs before you finally get clued into everything on the last couple of chapters. The hook at the very end makes you want to consider the last installment

There was a number of great narrators. Kind of like Game of Thrones. It was a little hard keeping track of the characters. What really brought this story down for me was the persistent “virginal naiveté” that most of the main female characters exhibited that I found preposterous and distracting. It’s a troubling narrative that many authors persist in adding to and I was disappointed to experience it again.

I loved this book and how it was broken down. It’s not a long story but a good one. I hope there’s a sequel. I didn’t get enough of their characters and the journey

This original listens like an old school radio program with modern sounds and storyline. I love how culture, religion and family dynamics were brought into this story and you FREAKED ME OUT! Listened start to finish w/breaks when I had to.

This is the final book in the series, but I’m not ready to say good-bye. This is a wonderful store and companion to “A few Pecans Short.” It’s a great comedic book with some life lessons and love. Never gets boring.

When’s the sequel? It’s a YA book but as an adult, I enjoyed it. I can’t wait for book two.

I loved this book, not just because it was a story of a beautiful community among diaspora, but because it also reminded me of my own similar experience on another island - Bermuda. The similarities between finding a loving and accepting community on another island touched me and I really enjoyed the story. There were times I didn't know where she was going, but just went along for the ride because it was descriptively written and I became distracted from my questions. I loved her experience so much, I'm considering visiting the Azores on my European trip next year.

The ending was a teeny abrupt but I feel like that was on purpose to leave a possible path for another book. This read more like a novel and less like someone recounting their story.

I had only read excerpts of this book before my book club chose to read this and I'm so glad. There is a lot packed in about sexism, ageism, stereotypes and abuse in this tiny book. But the thing I love most, is it was a book written about these struggles in regards to my people - Latinos. I'm very grateful that an author so talented shone through to many different readers of various ethnicities. This is just a gem of a book at an insightful look as to the struggles humans have and the beauty still found within. It's no wonder this book is so cherished years later.

This book reminded me of "If Beale Street Could Talk," but the differences were, it came from multiple character views and went past when one of the characters got out of prison. This is not an uplifting story - as most aren't in this genre - but it helps keep a spotlight on some of the racial atrocities that continue to occur in the judicial system. It has somewhat of a romance story subplot, but the character of Celestial really chaffed my hide and those parts irritated me.

This book is excellent if you don't know "If Beale Street Could Talk," but because I do, this was just "okay" to me because it wasn't different enough to feel unique. Still a good book club read.

While I really enjoyed the first book in the series, this second booked leaned heavily on character personalities and traits and it tainted the punch of chic-lit enjoyment. Summer becomes an annoyingly blind in her self-righteousness, the men in her life bring new meaning to toxic masculinity (while oddly knowing they are) and throw in a predictable plot with some holes and... I've basically revealed the whole plot just in general vague descriptions.

I wanted to love this book, it had some good comedic moments. The end sets up for a third, but I don't know if I'll invest more time in this series. It's just an okay listen.
