When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton

5.0

This book was just as amazing as Next Year in Havana! I was so excited to read Beatriz’s story, she sounded like such an intriguing character in Next Year in Havana. Beatriz is adjusting to her new life in Miami, Florida after fleeing Cuba when Castro becomes the Communist leader. She has every intention of returning to her beloved home and turns to some interesting people for help. Working with the CIA, Beatriz attempts to infiltrate Castro’s inner circle and make her way back to Havana. .

I cannot even begin to tell you what a ride this was! From Miami to New York to London to Havana, we follow Beatriz as she becomes a double agent, falls in love with a senator and risks her life to save her homeland. This book took you on an adventure you didn’t even see coming! Beatriz is such a strong character and I absolutely love her devotion to Cuba and her perseverance to live her own life, society be dammed. ..
