What to say about this book, it is so good. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a master of the craft of writing. The characters, atmosphere, and plot of this book are incredible. There is an author's note at the end of the book that talks about how this book was inspired by real events that happened in Mexico, and boy does it show. This book feels so real, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia did a fantastic job of crafting this story!
