reviewing 3 books by Dominican authors

the only quibble that I have that made this a four and a half at instead of a five star read for me was that the sisters have these huge personalities and I don't think they had enough room within the story to really feel like fleshed out characters

Overall another stunning work by Elizabeth Acevedo who definitely deserves all of the praise and recognition that she gets for writing these absolutely beautiful stories

I was having a really hard time getting into books but I picked this up and I literally read it in a day it was a whole romp it was easy to read it made me feel it made me laugh it made me cry and I was always interested in the mystery aspect of it as well like I wanted to know what was happening in st. Augustine

these are books that every time I read them I just think about how much it would have meant to me to have read them when I was a teenager
