A review by scijessreads
Maya's Notebook by Isabel Allende

2.0

The book tried to be too many things at once. Mystery (multiple), family drama, coming-of-age drama, cultural, diary, travelogue... And it didn't quite gel together. The flashback structure tried to meld into the current day one, and many times it was disjointed and felt choppy. I think this could have been a better book than it was if it picked 1 or 2 strong narratives instead of trying to be everything at once.
