I read the first half, but will admit to only skimming the second half.
If you’re into the post-Hunger Games dystopia genre, you’ll probably like it. It’s also quite diverse, which is definitely a point in its favor. But, ultimately, not for me.

Anche le citazioni all'inizio di ogni capitolo tratte da questo manuale inventato su come essere una brava prima moglie mi sono parecchie interessate, perché mi hanno ricordato in parte un testo che avevo studiato a scuola su come la donna dovesse comportarsi durante la dittatura di Franco.
Inoltre, questo libro, tramite paralleli nella storia, critica il modo con cui gli americani durante la presidenza di Trump, ma farse anche prima e ancora oggi, trattano i migranti e il popolo messicano in generale, affrontando anche il tema dei confini e il superamento illegali degli stessi. Devo dire che trovare tutto ciò in quest'opera mi ha positivamente sorpresa.
Purtroppo sono rimasta un po' male sul finale, perché mi è sembrato un po' affrettato e quindi non completamente soddisfacente.

bluejayreads's review
This is a world of misogyny and political intrigue, where the rich live atop a mountain and anyone from beyond the wall is shot. It's very much a slow burn - in half the book, Dani has graduated, been married off, been asked to spy on her husband, and attended two parties, and spent a lot of time talking about her own thoughts and feelings. It definitely feels slow, but it also doesn't feel boring.
