Ｒｅｃｏｍｍｅｎｄｅｄ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪᴋᴇ:
short story collections based on the life experiences of Latina girls and women with indigenous roots and ancestry
ꜱᴘᴏɪʟᴇʀ-ꜰʀᴇᴇ Ｒａｍｂｌｅｓ 💭
what I should’ve written is “recommended if you like to be sad” 🥲 I was drawn to the cover of this book, nothing new here, but boy oh boy was I unprepared for the heaviness. They’re short stories so I honestly didn’t think it would impact me as much as it did, but it did. Each story felt real and raw- the good, the bad, and the ugly… especially the ugly. I need me a HEA, happily ever after, book now because balance 😅 Check trigger warnings! I will say though, despite the heaviness of this book I do think it was really good and definitely worth the read.
