The main character dies in the end and the book finishes with a "don't be this guy" ending. Yeah, I do not think I would like to be eaten in half for trying to figure out why my mom died until remembering she jumped off the raft and you kicked her feet from coming back on the raft.

I honestly don't know if the main character died because of not letting Julisa perform the "The Sacred Blowjob" or for having mommy issues.

Read if you like a Scarface wannabe perspective and an existential orca's perspective.

Read if you love Scarface because every page is a reference to the film (I have never seen Scarface).

Read if you are Cuban.

Read if you have Miami trauma, too.

Never in a million years would I have thought I could connect so deeply to a story about a Scarface-obsessed, former Pitbull impersonator with a psychic connection to an incarcerated killer whale, but such is the power of uncompromising literature. Brava, Jennine Capó Crucet! I needed this.
