This was a book I found I had to concentrate fully otherwise I would read the same paragraph over and over. I found the jumping around from present to past confusing and not as smoothly as I would have liked.
The first half was better than the last half. To me the last part felt so long with little to keep my interest. I did make it to the end and was relieved I had finished it. So much potential but came across flat. Not for me.

Bart Varelmann is a born story teller. He's led a more adventurous life than most and has the ability to entertain the reader with his account , both as a memoir and also as the owner of a small motel in Manzanillo. A book worth reading. I rate it at 3 1/2 stars so will round up to 4.

My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review.
