A review by lizaroo71
The Liars of Mariposa Island by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0
I’ve only read one other book by this author, but I want to read them all now. This book may not hit the high points for all readers, but for me, it really encompassed growing up in a Latinx household in the eighties.
I like the various POVs and I like that you have a tension that is consistent between the mother and her children. This is a book about not just emigrating, but learning how to adapt in a world that doesn’t mirror where you began.
The ending definitely left open the door to possibilities.
