This book had such a compelling premise two estranged sisters reconnecting in 1990s Cuba during a time of political and personal upheaval but the execution didn’t fully land for me.

While the setting was vivid the story was often hard to follow and I struggled to keep track of the characters.

I found it difficult to connect emotionally with the characters or their journeys. The plot built toward moments that never fully delivered.

There were strong atmospheric elements, but overall, I found myself wishing for more clarity and deeper development.

A well written story that kept me hooked from the very beginning.
The characters draw you in and keeps you flipping the pages.
They are realistic and very well developed.
I really enjoyed the writing style. I found myself hooked, turning the pages.

I enjoyed this story of Cuba and exile. I'm not typically a fan of historical fiction, but this is anchored in the 90's and I enjoyed the perspective here. Especially important in the current US political climate.
