2.12.2024 - what a challenging and well written memoir. The struggles and the normality of just getting through each hardship is so well depicted. That makes it harder but it also brings it to light. I loved the connections and the idea that the forces of the world hit the most vulnerable hardest.

Jaquira's story is pretty incredible. I like how she wove Puerto Rico's history and present into the story to provide further insight into her background, culture, experiences, and who she is. Her story is so heartbreaking and she is so completely honest that at times I felt uncomfortable reading it. Jaquira has a unique perspective, and I really appreciate her letting her readers into her world.
