Dominicana
by Angie Cruz
Definitely a big fan of this- I picked it up from my library for Latinx heritage Month and finished it quickly.
I felt awful for Ana all the way through- from the second she left her home in the DR to she final page when she reunites with her mother. It was a story that made me ache for this girl and the strange life she lives as the wife of a much older man in New York.
I don't know whether this was intentional but I felt that as Ana fell in love throughout the book, having her perspective on things lead me to forget how young she was. Only once I'd finished did my brain recall that her "new romance" was no better than her older husband- in both situations she was still a child.
This book flowed very smoothly for me and I can see why it's so popular!
