I enjoyed EVERY SINGLE STORY in this book. There wasn't a single one that was lacking I loved the different angles, time lines and constructs. I can't get over how good this was. I'll definitely be buying a physical copy for my library.
Do yourself a favor and read it, buy it, borrow it from your library. Just get your hands on this collection of short stories.

It started strong and ended strong for me, but the middle stories were not my favorites. I feel like that many readers will be quite confused as I have been. If you don't like being dropped into the story and not knowing what's going on, this won't be for you. However if you're after some magic realism with feminist touches and brujas, spells and magic, this might be the one for you.
