I think this is my final review of May, completed last week for #FictionalTraveler #SpanishSpeaking & the 6th of my #Roll100 picks for May (#4: Any BOTM). I‘ve put off reviewing it because I‘m still not sure how I feel about it. It‘s a quiet book about grief, depression & finding your life. Ruth leaves her job in NYC for a lake town in Guatemala, a place she felt most real in when she was there years before. It sort of meanders, ⬇️
DebinHawaii …which made me restless but there is a stark beauty in the writing. I think the challenge to me is I never felt close to Ruth‘s character or the characters in the relationships she formed with two different women. I did like the scenes set around Ruth‘s experiences as an expat & overall, I give it a soft pick. This was a #BOTM early release & doesn‘t publish elsewhere until July. 3w
