Many thanks to Libro.fm and the publisher for a digital arc of this book!

I chose this one because a friend really enjoyed it, and I was not very surprised to find that I agreed! I was almost instantly invested in Olga and her family. Olga is a strong character with a strong voice, and I thought the author did a wonderful job of exploring her backstory and environment. It was also one of those novels that taught me something by slowly unraveling a complicated political and social situation (Puerto Rico's statehoood, or lack thereof) through the lens of multiple characters. I thought this was a compassionate, intelligent read with a satisfying ending, and I really loved the multiple narrators. Would definitely recommend!
