This book was wow. The FMC finds out she is a storyteller in her family meaning she can see peoples stories that are no longer here, however she doesn’t just see them she is in them and it puts her in a family murder mystery. The tension, writing style, discussion of colorism within the Latinx community and discussion of accountability really made for a good story.
CW: colorism, racism, bigotry, murder, alcoholism, emotional abuse
