mlopezj14's review against another edition
4.0
What I loved most about this book was its frankness about life in dire circumstances. It is a recount of the tragedy of an entire family and it provides us with a glimpse of the consequences of living through violence and discrimination. Even though it's seen through the eyes of the youngest of the family, its message of loss and its transparency at depicting conflicting emotions made it a wonderful reading.
This is a story of life without any trace of Hollywood-esque sugar coating. While we don't get the closure or perfect happy endings we crave from a story, we get to see life as it is. It might not be what we want but it may be what we need in order to start embracing our own lives as they unfold naturally and stop embellishing them in social media.
