This book was ok. But it was so slow and boring through a big chunk. I pushed through but it was almost like a tween wrote the ending. One caricature bad guy. All bad for not really great reasons. No depth. No complication. He might as well have had a mustache he twirled while cackling. I did like Grace and Alberto and Marta. I liked the theme of guilt and how it can steadily take over your life. How sometimes the hardest thing you can do is forgive yourself, move on and find joy again. But even in that, the main character doesn’t deal with certain aspects of her guilt, she’s just sort of told it’s ok I did it too. I felt like this had potential, but wasn’t flushed out well. Disappointing.
