"Jufresa directly appeals to any reader who was once a 12-year-old girl obsessed with Agatha Christie (*cough* me), but also, and truly, this is a gorgeous book that meditates on loss and grief, healing and redemption, and also offers an enchanting look into life in contemporary Mexico." Nylon
"A waste" according to Kindle Customer. I bought this because of a discussion with the author that was run on NPR. It sounded interesting but it turns out it was just boring, with no real point.
