pick

I recently read only disappointing reviews about this book so went in with low expectations but I really loved it. Sure there‘s a lot going on but to me it made sense. I loved Olga as a character, was very interested in reading about the historical injustices committed to #PuertoRico, and enjoyed the romance part and the Latino atmosphere throughout the book. So definitely another #ToB23 pick!

Suet624 I got this book from the library twice and couldn‘t bring myself to open the book because of the reviews. I‘m so glad to hear you liked it. Maybe I‘ll give it another go. 2y

KarenUK I loved it too…. Olga is a great character, I really enjoyed spending time with her. 💕 2y

Hooked_on_books This is one of two I have left to read on the list. I have low expectations but your review gives me hope. I‘m so glad you liked it! 2y

Librarybelle I may have to try this one! 2y

Cortg I‘ve heard great things about this one and I found a copy in a Little Free Library recently. I‘m really looking forward to it! 2y

Chelsea.Poole So glad to see you liked this one! I‘m hoping to get to the audio soon 😊 2y

Cortg I just looked at Litsy reviews. Weird. I‘ve heard good things. We‘ll see 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

RebelReader I own this one (along with Rabbit Hutch and Babel)so I‘m waiting for my library pile to go down. I‘m making a dent! 😃 2y

rmaclean4 I have been putting this one off. I think I will listen to the audio book next after your review! 2y

squirrelbrain I liked this one too @CarolynM @Suet624 @KarenUK @Hooked_on_books @Librarybelle @Cortg @Chelsea.Poole @Cortg @RebelReader @rmaclean4 I know lots of Littens didn‘t like it and it did have a few minor faults, but it‘s in the top half of my shortlist for sure. 2y

BarbaraBB @Suet624 @Hooked_on_books @Chelsea.Poole @Cortg @RebelReader @rmaclean4 I have to admit I knew little about US attitude towards PR so that added a lot for me but it is biased and I didn‘t mind that but it may be something that can influence your opinion about the book if you know more about relations between the two countries.

BarbaraBB @RebelReader You have some good ones waiting for you! 2y

sarahbarnes I‘ve had the exact same experience as @Suet624. But I‘m glad to see you liked it and my give it a try! I am very interested in the relationship btw the US and PR. 2y

merelybookish I'm glad it worked for you and agree Olga is a great character! I just felt she got bogged down by a lot of other stories and characters that were not as well-realized. 2y

Ruthiella I read this last year and never posted it. I‘m with you. It was a bit uneven, sure. But I liked Olga as a character and didn‘t mind the info dumps about Puerto Rico. 2y

BkClubCare I read this soon after it was published and enjoyed it; learned quite a bit. One of my bestest friends ever has a connection to the author and recommended it. I guess I hadn‘t realized it had many negative reviews. 2y

BarbaraBB @BkClubCare Lots of so-so reviews lately here on Litsy. When I scroll a bit more though I am glad though to find a lot of picks as well - among them yours! 2y

Cortg @squirrelbrain Good to know! 2y

kwmg40 Glad you liked this book. I enjoyed the story and characters too! 2y
