FURIA is YA novel but I'm recommending it to everybody aged 16- 100. Yamile Saied Méndez did a fantastic job combining romance, family struggles, domestic violence, poverty, colourism, heartbreak, violence against women, football, and the life of a teenager in Argentina into a well put together and thoughtful book. I hate to be that Bookstagrammer but I "felt all the feelings"👌🏾
I love the way Méndez used a lot of Spanish words and phrases in telling this story, it was almost Makumbi-ish in its pride of Argentinian culture and lifestyle.
I really enjoyed Furia! The book was exciting, inspiring, and well put together. It drew me in with its characters and story, and I couldn’t put it down!

I can't say I "enjoyed" this novel because there's nothing feel-good about it. What I immensely enjoyed and appreciated was Kandasamy's narrative prowess. I've read a lot of books that feature domestic violence but this one is top tier👌🏾

It's such a sad story mehn. So sad. If you were close to your dad and he's passed away, reading this will be a little much. It's a story of a young girl reflecting on the wonderful memories of her father who she lost during the war in Bangladesh's struggle for independence.
The book is very short but it was a little repetitive which I'm going to blame on the translation. The audiobook brought more life to the words in this book though
