It was a good book—definitely a bit challenging because of the code switching/translanguaging/Spanglish but it’s my own fault I don’t know Spanish so I obviously didn’t mark the book down for that. I enjoyed learning about Trujillo and the history I didn’t learn in school. The characters are complex.
