Find Me in Havana by Serena Burdick
3.0

3.5 stars! Find Me in Havana follows a mother and daughter in the 1950s and 60s. This historical fiction gives off major “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” vibes. With the mother being a Cuban American actress and singer in the 1950s. I thought the storyline was clever to add the Cuban historical aspect. However , it did fall short a bit. I enjoyed the historical aspects and I really felt for Nina and her mother. But at times I felt like the story dragged a bit, I did not become invested until the 50% point and the epilogue did not wrap the story up very well. The ending had so much potential, but it really get rushed.
