Lotería

It's important to note that the copy of this book that I read was just gorgeous. It was hardback and fit in the hand perfectly, and each chapter started with an actual lotería image and ended with the image of the back of the card (if that makes sense).
Something horrible happened and Luz in in a children's home. Her aunt does not have legal status enough to take custody of her. Luz refuses to speak to anyone but God, who she writes to in her secret journal. She is alone in a room with her journal and the lotería cards.
I lost patience at about 80% when we still really didn't know what was going on. And then we find out and the Luz we thought we knew starts acting very out of character. I was most confused by what happened to the aunt.
Overall I still think it was fantastic, it just needed something to cut the tension.
