When Life Gives You Mangos by Kereen Getten

5.0

Wow, how wholesome. This book was so beautifully written and I really did love every word. It felt very immersive and it was wonderful to read a book set in another culture that isn’t primarily focused on it being a different culture!! I loved the dynamics between Clara and the adults in the village, and her friendship with Rudy really touched my heart. I really understood how it feels to be struggling at a young age and everyone around you look at you like you’re crazy instead of trying to help you understand what’s wrong and so I related to Clara in a way, though our experiences are very different. I also loved the twist near the end. I was kind of expecting it, but not at the same time. Overall I throughly enjoyed it!!
