A review by katekate_reads_
When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton

3.0

Beatriz Perez is an intriguing character - she is someone who is fully herself and won’t be squashed by expectations of her family or society. She is strongly motivated by a desire to return to Cuba and to avenge her brother’s death.

When she is approached by the CIA and asked to help with plans to take down Castro - she boldly agrees. At the same time - she is starting a dangerous flirtation with a man who is already engaged.

This book has a lot of intrigue and Beatriz is ultimately faced with some really difficult decisions. I enjoyed seeing where things went but for some reason I didn’t fully connect with this book. I wasn’t anxious to get back to it whenever I set it down.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review.
