Decent Debut Novel (10/23/2018)
I should've loved this book. The plot is solid, the characters are well developed, the setting is beautifully described by an author who clearly loves Trinidad, & the message is important. However, the story moves too slowly, is a bit predictable, and Ms. Adam steps too …more
