Margarita Wednesdays: Making a New Life by the Mexican Sea by Deborah Rodriguez
5.0
This was such a fun read!
I loved the descriptions of the people and places in the little beach town Rodriguez resides in. Her story of loss, PTSD, and healing was beautiful and powerful. She's hilarious, and this comes through in her anecdotes and observations. Rodriguez is someone who cares a lot and will do something about it. We learn a little of her past life in Kabul, and how it ends up translating over to her new life in Mexico. She wants to make a difference, and even if the difference seems insignificant (teaching women hairdressing and other beauty skills) it can make a world of difference for girls who may otherwise go into less ideal jobs to put food on the table.
If you want an inspiring and funny memoir, this is for you.
