Review: I read this in a day... it has to mean something, right? - This was an honest, real view on the complexities and difficulties of being an immigrant woman, of generational curses and the decisions each generation makes while trying to survive for the next generation, and how we tend to fill in the gaps without knowing the full story of what our ancestors had to go through. I'm usually not a fan of that many POVs, but I'm giving this a 5 star review because each story, each point of view added another layer of understanding of the story. I was caught off guard by the twists and turns of this story and the ending most definitely made me gasp. But again, it made sense.
Review: A solid and good read - What I liked most about this novel are the interwoven stories of women who make their choices and live with them, even as so much is not in their control. It’s an informative read about the diverse countries in Latin America and a touching read about the complexities in mother-daughter relationships. The novel didn’t knock my socks off, but I was really impressed with the well-rounded character development of each woman in her story. This is a definite strength of the book. I recommend this book for those wanting to read a book with strong female characters or for a very good read about people emigrating from Cuba, Central America, and Mexico, and the challenges of Latin American women, spanning time and a variety of nations.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice, but brushes over a lot
*by D***C on September 8, 2021*

That was nice. It was an incredibly sad story, but it was a good read. The plot follows two matriarchal families, one descending from Cuba, the other descendant from El Salvador. Jeanette is a young woman who can't find her way, Ana is a child whose mother gets deported. Story entwines. The book touches on a lot of difficult subjects, both heavily and lightly. Heavy includes drugs, abuse...light includes the social ladder of Latinx immigrants, the role of politics, etc. There is so much in such few pages, and yet it read very easily, but probably because it brushes over a lot. Lots of broad strokes here. Three stars, because I think there is more to be said, but this was probably overly edited to a broader market.
