Status Updates From You Should Have Been Nicer ...

xiomara im starting to think you are the demon lmao. or yaritza bc the news thing happened right after she asked

‘“First of all, I didn’t rape anyone. Those women made their own decisions—” Henry’s defense was quickly drowned out by everyone’s groans.’

Oh god

‘“I just said I’m not pro-torture!” Yaritza huffed. “I’m just stating facts, okay? El bacà is a Haitian spirit. One that can only be controlled by Haitians. They use it to protect their property. Naomi is Haitian, literally from Haiti, so obviously—”

“Julia was literally from Haiti. Naomi was born and raised in New Jersey,” Xiomara corrected her.’

These racist bitches

“But even stronger was the smell. Pungent copper mixed with burnt wood. The undertone of sulfur. Xiomara stepped into the study for the second time that night to discover large claw marks on Papi Ramon’s desk.

And they dripped red.”

I might finish the book just for this

‘“Manuel Abreu,” the newscaster began, “appears to have been embezzling money from his church in order to pay off the women his son allegedly targeted.”’

Finally something interesting!!!

“What even were they supposed to be confessing? That they’d gotten bags from the grocery store without paying the ten cents? Or was someone hiding a seriously heinous secret? Xiomara wasn’t sure she even wanted to know.”

Idk if I even wanna know at this point bc I'm really bored

“Even if Mark managed to get the previous will and returned safely, she was feeling less and less interested in whatever Papi Ramon left for her.”

I'm becoming less and less interested in this book

I didn't think that this would be so heavy on the messy family drama. I'm so bored 😴

“...Between the two of them, only one would talk her ear off, but that didn’t mean that Xiomara liked Marisa any better. When the woman wasn’t attached to a man, she made every other woman her enemy.”

One of the worst types of women

“...Remember the time her old boyfriend broke up with her after cheating on her and she drove his car into a river?”

Girl what
