Every time I wanted to quit, something finally happened & made me want to find out what happened next.
Eventually tried to DNF it and read the ending but it didn't make any damn sense so I went back to reading it.
Now that it's over and some time has past I can appreciate the overall story and themes. But damn was it a yo-yo slog to get there.
Might actually be better as a movie. I don't think I've ever said that before.
Liked Magdalena as a kid protecting her sister. Their cousin coming clean as an adult. Even their mom in the end came through. Their aunt was the best side character. Love the side by side Cuban & Croatian experiences.
I guess all well that ends well.
