Ona is an anthropologist and decides to interview the women in her family to find out about their origins: the older sisters come from the Dominican Republic, and their lives there were very different to those of their children.
This is a family with a lot going on! If you like family dramas, then you would be just the reader for this book. There’s a lot about the different relationships between the characters, marriages, unfaithfulness, low self esteem, maternal love, fertility problems, cultural differences, family arguments and resilience.
It’s beautifully written - Acevedo is a poet as well - and all the characters really do have their own voices in this wide-sweeping novel.

It's a real nostalgia trip, with so many references throughout, that there will be something for everyone.
However, I had seen the film a few years ago, and I feel like this allowed me to get drawn into the world faster, as I already had a feel for it, so some of the gaps were already filled in for me.
The main draw for this book was watching the main characters pure enjoyment of the puzzles, and the real time peril of the chase and competition. It gave a real sense of what video games are truly about - escapism.
There is a lot I could say about this book, as it touched on a great deal of real world issues, and couldn't be more relevant to now.
Overall, there are a lot more pros than cons, and I'd highly recommend!

Infinity Chronicles:Book 2
By Albany Walker
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m learning to accept that my entire life has been a lie, and that with my mother’s disappearance there are mysteries I may never uncover. Not to mention, my abilities are manifesting and I’m just beginning to understand what being part of an Infinity really means.
As my relationship with each guy grows, so does the Infinity bond between us. Living with four moody guys—who give me butterflies with a simple look—can be slightly overwhelming. Still, I need answers, and moving forward is the only way to get them.
But there is a problem—each revelation provokes new questions, and secrets I may not be ready for are rising to the surface.
I found myself enjoying this a lot more than the first book. We had a lot more interest and a bit more story development. The characters were rounding out and coming into their own.

I'm a total binger and love the chance to watch a full season in one sitting. It is a bummer that some movies and shows leave Netflix but they are always adding new content as well.
