The World in Half by Cristina Henríquez

3.0

I really wanted to like this book, especially since I loved The Book of Unknown Americans. But the main character was just...boring. I kept wondering when the pace would pick up but the plot was very slow for the first three-quarters of the book. It could have benefited from an additional narrative point of view (the mother’s from earlier in life would have been a good one) and more explanation of why the men in the book fell for the women they did. Overall, it was decent writing but fell flat in execution.
