Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet

2.0

Honestly, this book was a challenge for me. The main character was the most negative, whiny, selfish person I can remember reading about. I couldn’t get past it. From starting fights to spitting her own snot on a family member’s food... her arrogance was almost unbelievable to me, especially in contrast with her seeming lack of confidence. Page after page of self-sabotage and failing to see the love others were trying to give her. It was, simply put, a depressing read with no real bright side. Leidy, the sister, was far more worthy of being the protagonist and I’d rather have read a book centered around her life.
