Jig's Reviews > Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet

Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet is a beautiful, “coming of age” love story. It is refreshing to read a story about a beautiful, young LATIN woman! One of the main characters, Pen, is struggling to find her true self. While, Xander is looking for a sense of belonging. I like how the author switches from Pen’s perspective to Xander’s. It allows the reader to dive deeply into each character and fully understand their internal conflicts. Additionally, the story helps the reader understand the many challenges the Hispanic community faces here in the US. It is about young love, self acceptance, the importance of family and the need for a sense of belonging. I just thought it was lovely!
