I don't know if I'm enjoying it or not

Even Jazmín isn't good enough a mother for Eva, well, cry me a river.

No sympathies, almost every character in this book is privileged and obnoxious. Asshole, disgusting father, mothers are either good or bad, the boys are just not fully developed in the head it seems.

I get it, understanding where Eva comes from is important, but her obsession with Spain, Cordoba in specific is over the top, it's just becoming a bit redundant and boring to read. Scapism? Her not caring about her friends but wanting their attention, and having sex even when she doesn't want to? Those things are far more interesting to explore than just wow Cordoba is so pretty 🙄..

"nobody could pick you up and cuddle you or try and comfort you, or even make you eat."

I'm so intrigued what the heck, my heart feels for little Eva😓.

Wonder what colour my mom was

Reading this book at my best friend's request🫪

Have you ever done anything without being coaxed, wheedled, or bullied?
lmaoooooooo

"it would seem a great paradox, the fact that after everything they had told Letty, all the pain they had shared, she was the one who needed comfort."

Sir William Jones, a virulent abolitionist, at the same time admitted of his own household, ‘I have slaves that I rescued from death and misery, but consider them as servants.’

Snake in the grass!!! Snake in the grass!!! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

"drunkards, malcontents from up north, lowlives with no better way to express their opinions than shouting about them on the street. I'd prefer they wrote a letter, of course, I doubt half of them can read."

The audacity 😞
