I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This isn't the "humorous" novel that it's marketed as (though it has its wry moments), but I still enjoyed Vega's meditative, often melancholy journey through the years. It's an impressive undertaking that spans continents and decades and is full of observations about culture, identity, and loss. The insights on motherhood are also insightful and relatable. Though we read about a decent number of Vega's romantic entanglements, my favorite relationships are the ones between her and her friends--and ex-husband--that end up revealing more aspects of Vega's character.
