Could this be a contender for one of my favorite books of the year? I think so. Let me start with saying this is the me of the few times where I like almost all of the characters? Each person was so complex and thought out that it made it easy to relate to them and want the best for them (well, most of them anyway).

This book touched on so many thing, but you know what my favorite part to read about was? COMPLEX 👏🏼 FAMILY 👏🏼 DYNAMICS👏🏼 If you read this, you can 100% that Blanca is a total bad ass. But you know what else she is? A manipulative mother that I COULDN’T stand. My skin would crawl every time we read one of her letters, but my god were they beautifully written with some powerful story telling. 

I loved Prieto and him dealing with his own issues with abandonment as he fully came into his identity. Hate politics, but I do love him.

Olga too was a dope characters. I love seeing how two people raised together can diverge and see things so differently. She is truly the embodiment of making the broken system work for her and truly love that for her.
