I liked the story. What I did not like was the person reading it. The publisher chose someone who does not speak Spanish or cannot pronounce words very well. Eight and a half minutes in I had to stop listening as he mispronounced Julia de Burgos’ name. It’s okay if you don’t know everything about the culture you are reading, but I think it’s the reader’s responsibility to know how to pronounce words in the book they are being paid to read. The main character is half Puerto Rican and the reader can’t pronounce “boricua”? 🤦🏾‍♀️ SMDH.
What I love about listening or reading a book is that I can get lost in the story. I was continually and abruptly brought back to reality by the reader’s mispronunciation. I suppose it doesn’t matter if you are monolingual or don’t understand Spanish.

Rámirez’s words tell a story about a family and their love for their matriarch. It is full of images and anecdotes that resonate in the Hispanic culture. It is a story about a strong woman who raised strong women.

I learned a lot about history of our democracies and others around the world. It is a scary topic, but understanding it has lessened my anxiety about America’s future.

This book is about a teenager’s experience during the Rodney King riots, but it deals with much more. It deals with family trauma, mental health issues, friendships, racism, and what it is like to be a woman in America. This book was way more than I bargained for for a YA novel. One of the best I have read.

Couldn’t finish it. I liked Verity, but this book was not the same. Not a Hooven fan

I couldn’t buy into the story. Not sure if it was the narrator or the fact the story was completely unrealistic.

This book is probably true for so many teens and families targeted by big pharma. It’s an endearing and heartbreaking story.

Don Tillman is the most interesting character I have seen in a long time. The story is funny and heartbreaking. It is mostly a story of how love arrives at the most unexpected times.
