Margarita Wednesdays: Making a New Life by the Mexican Sea by Deborah Rodriguez

1.0

Ok, Deborah Rodriguez goes from one adventure to the next, not caring who she leaves behind. What happened to the girls in Afghanistan when she left? She doesn't even know, nor does she seem to care. She mentions her Mother but never goes to see her. Her year in California is just a bleep in the book before she heads to Mexico. She has a house, a car, and enough money to live without a job. I am assuming that this situation is because of her book, which she is quick to sign and pass out, even the Spanish version. Note: She lives in Mexico for years, hangs out with a bunch of expats and never gets past a mish mash of Spanglish, always counting for someone to translate for her. She bad mouths her son Noah, until he comes to live in Mexico and then she does an about face. Her other son is barely mentioned. The one thing I got from Ms. Rodriguez is that she is quite in love-with herself.
