The Farm by Joanne Ramos is heartbreaking and infuriating. She has quite a literary career ahead of her if this is what she brings to the table with her debut novel.

Here’s a bunch of reviews for all the fiction I read.
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
There are good things and bad things about Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I liked the story quite a bit, but the characters and the storytelling fell flat. It is the perfect summer read because summer isn't over yet!!!
Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
If you're looking for a harsh yet kind not completely bad book review, look no further. Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes made me sad because the plot sucks. The dialogue is good, but it's definitely nothing more than an escapist read for vacation.
Passing by Nella Larsen
Passing by Nella Larsen is one of those books you want to sit with letting the words roll through your mind reveling in the meaning and feeling of it all. It is an amazing book holding up ninety years after it was first published.
Time After Time by Lisa Grunwald
A love story conquering time and obstacles set in 1940’s Grand Central Station. A great light read for summer vacation.
Sabrina and Corina by Kali Fajardo-Anstine
Sabrina & Corina is a beautiful debut by Kali Fajardo-Anstine. A collection of heartbreaking stories about Latina women of indigenous descent living in the American West.
