The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba by Chanel Cleeton
3.0
Liked it & learned a lot about the Cuban revolution and also the early newspaper industry. Overall enjoyable, but probably would not reread or necessarily recommend over other books, unless that’s a period of history you specifically want to read about?
It felt like that specific subgenre of book club read that is great for what it is, but in the space between beach read & contemporary lit that’s a bit too “literature lite” for me personally. Felt like reading something like The Paris Wife or The Nightingale, etc—good and extremely popular books that just don’t quite do it for me. But if you love books like that, I’d bet you love this too!
