¡¡¡Este libro fue sensacional!!! Desde que comencé a leerlo se me hizo raro, y como dije en mis 'stories' en Instagram "it was a good kind of weird"... El formato de esta novela es confuso desde el inicio y esto tiene una relación que conecta con el tema del texto. Me encanta cuando el estilo narrativo apoya el mensaje porque le da otro tono a la trama. 
Desde que comencé a leer no sabía qué pasaba y eso es exactamente lo que le sucede a uno de los personajes, Aguilar, que no sabe qué pasa con su esposa e intenta pero intenta averiguarlo.

This is probably the BEST non-fiction book I have read so far. It's funny, and I can hear Trevor Noah's voice and intonation as I read each chapter which makes it even more relatable. 
It has a lot of tough stories, but very real and raw stories that no one can ever imagine when we look at a funny guy on a stage or on T.V. This books tells the amazing story of resilience of the author, but also of the people of South Africa. His insight on the development of the identity of the country is inspiring and heartbreaking. 

There are a lot of things I liked about this book... so I will start with the good and then I'll talk about all the bad (there are quite a few things too)... But before I dig into the specifics of this text, I have a question... why is it that all the historical fiction novels that I have read lately have multiple timelines? Is it me picking the same format over and over? or is it trendy to have two parallel story lines, one where the main character is a descendant of the other main character and somehow their stories intertwine?

I'm sure that many of you have already watched the sequence of videos that Emmanuel Acho came up with right after the death of George Floyd, but if you haven't watched yet, you have to! Go to his instagram account and watch all the IGTV videos. 
Those videos are what moved me to pre-order this book as soon as he announced it was being released. I got it at the end of last year, but didn't actually start reading it until a couple of weeks ago.... you know I'm behind with my reading goal, but that's for another blog post... 

First book of the year!!! Yay!!! 
I don't remember why I picked this book... I think I saw it on "Hello Sunshine" book club, and I have to say I am surprised about Reese's Witherspoon choice... I made a story on my Instagram account recently about thinking this book was amazing and then finding some little things that made me stop loving it as much.. and I will talk about those, hopefully not spoiling it for you if you want to read it... if there is are any spoilers in this post I will warn you ahead of time so you can stop reading!

I started 2020 with a trip to Los Angeles... it was a long weekend and I decided I just needed to get away by myself and visit my best friends from high school - I have three best friends from HS, but two of them live in LA and one lives here in SF, so I see her more often. 
I get anxious when I don't feel prepared, so I usually arrive very early at the airport. I'm also TSA Pre approved so I skipped the security check line. I thought I would be bored for the next hour and a half until my plane departed, so I decided to visit the bookstore.
