Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez
5.0
This book has been on my TBR so long that I totally forgot why I wanted to read it.
A beautifully written and engaging story about two siblings, their heritage, and how that heritage has impacted them in the present.
All surrounding a gentrifying Brooklyn and the political backdrop of Puerto Rico.
While the characters themselves are grappling with their lives, they are also real. The story is well blended between romance, history, family issues, New York life and politics, the mob, blackmail.
Any ONE of the subplots could have been it's own story and taken center stage. Instead, Gonzalez weaves them all effortlessly to make the story more than the sum of its parts.
