A Handbook to Luck by Cristina García
4.0
this is one of those books i picked up while wandering the news books area of green library - judging a book by its cover! it's one of my favorite ways to find books at the library.
it turned out to be wonderful - so expressive and you really get invested in the characters, wanting to know how things turn out. the three characters are so different and they all start as children, a poor girl from san salvador, a cuban boy raised in las vegas by a magician father and a rich girl from tehran living in santa monica before returning to iran for an arranged marriage. this book has soul and my only criticism is that i was left wanting more to find some closure on their stories, but that's not life, is it?
