I loved the premise of this book, but it fell completely flat with many loose ends, underdeveloped characters, and an overabundance of “fluff.” I think 100 pages could be trimmed and it wouldn’t make a difference. I was really excited for an older female main character, but in my opinion, she was written like a standard millennial American woman rather than an older Latina from New York. It really just missed the mark for me.
