I decided to DNF @ 70%.

This book clocks in at 200 pages yet it has a ton of different story lines. It has potential to be a sweeping multi-generational epic, but with such a short amount of time given to each character, no single story is fully developed. Many side characters are stereotypical props (leering Latino men, German tourist out for sex with the locals, out of touch rich expat wife, racist Cuban in Miami) and the conversations about Cuban-US politics are superficial middle-school level discussions. I got the impression that the author wasn't well equipped to flesh out the story to make the dialogue more nuanced and many characters felt underbaked.
