Historia
In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly 100, dies herself, leading to a farewell doubleheader in a single weekend. Among the guests is Big Angel's half-brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle.

loved the way the story unfolded. it starts with characters who are not likeable. as the story progresses we get to understand what makes them they way they are-- both the good and the not so good.

loved the story line set in a backdrop of historical events. However, the end dragged on more than necessary and did not adequately explain what happened to the main character.

I've been avoiding reading anything heavy, but I am so glad that I made the plunge. The stories of enslaved people are hard too hear, but they won't be told if we don't listen. The main character Hannie, a young share cropper during reconstruction searches for her mother and siblings that were sold when she was child.

Like the story, especially liked the characters. Glad I continued listening until the story developed. the main character seeks to find a better more meaningful life even when she has to go against cultural traditions.

Historia
Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.
