I thought this book was quite lovely. While it was slightly slow for me initially, the character development was quite good. I soon found myself invested in the main character of Rosa and her journey of navigating young adulthood and the relationships in her life. Many of …more the passages as Rosa struggles to work through her "terrors" and to find some answers regarding her late father and his life are so beautifully written. On more than one occasion I reread several of these passages to savor and enjoy. The book also was fascinating in introducing me to subject matters that were somewhat foreign to me though at times some of them did lose my interest a bit. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend to colleagues. I also think it would be a worthy book club selection. (less)
