I wasn't expecting this book to contain as many perspectives as it did, and I think the inclusion of so many characters' thoughts contributes to the freshness and pace of influence ration alloted to the reader. Everyone in this book is flawed in ways large and small, and the snappy Olga is a compelling protagonist. I'm loving hearing Puerto Rican reviewers dicuss this book, because it sparks many conversations about US (non) involvement during times of disaster and its continued gentrification of the island and about the many differing opinions of Puerto Rican people and Puerto Rican diaspora in NYC (and elsewhere). I encourage other readers to look into those reviews and discussions! Also, there is sexual assault late in the book that felt veryyyy unnecessary to me. I understand the point of including it, but I personally don't need that point to be made to me to understand the gravity of male entitlement and racism.
