This is the best book I've read so far this year. It reminds me of La Casa en Mango Street with the vignette-style writing. The story is gripping, yet so ordinary for people from the Dominican Republic traveling to America for a new life. I tore through this book with the engaging characters and the beautiful writing. Angie Cruz is a master of her craft.

I purposely went into this book blindly. It was just okay.
