In 'The Waves Take You Home' we follow the story of Violeta, a Colombian woman whose mind and aspirations reside in New York, where she's built a life as a graphic designer and has a relationship with a kind american, and her heart set in Colombia and specifically, in Caminito, her abuela's restaurant.
What I liked: I loved the Colombian representation, the spanish words and phrases mixed with the english, the food descriptions, their drive to save Caminito.
What I disliked: Violeta's infatuation with her 10 year old ex, and the love triangle.
My honest opinion: I'm really disappointed because I expected more. I understoon Violeta's struggles and the melancholy provoked by the ending of a relationship, still it disappoints me the way she handled things with Liam and Rafa.
Thank you to Netgalley for a DRC of the book.
Note: I'm editing my review because I wasn't fair before and my frustration got the better of me, I'm sorry for that.
