I enjoyed this book. It kept you guessing as to what was really Sylvia's history and why couldn't she remember. Trying to understand why Thomas felt the way he did about Sylvia's profession and if she was going to change his mind kept you wondering. The author did well with …more keeping the mystery and adding a bit of romance.(less)
I enjoyed this book. It was well written and a fun read. It showed the struggle of those who want to do the right thing, but are trapped by the situation so they have to find creative solutions to be able to help. I had fun watching June come out of her shell and learn to …more live and enjoy life instead of watching it pass her by.(less)
This book helped me learn more about Cuba and the hardships that were/are there and how the Cubans continue to enjoy life and continue to live in Cuba. They make the best of a difficult situation. I would recommend reading this book.
