I finally got to read Dominicana by Angie Cruz and it was everything I hoped for and then some! Her writing style completely captivated me and I read this one in a single sitting because of it. The story told just felt so authentic and relatable. We can find ourselves with a much different outcome than the one we have dreamed of and planned more times than not. Coming-of-age will always be my jam -- and it can be within any genre, not just horror that I usually gravitate towards. This story explores a lot of self-discovery as well and it just came off the pages so effortlessly. Even though this book lacks the normal dialogue queues and quotation marks it did not distract me like it has in some other books... and I think that is a testament to the way in which Angie Cruz can tell a story. It's sounds like a simple feat, but I have had books ruined before due to this writing choice, and Cruz nails it!
