I really tried to love this book
What I liked:
I liked the setting and the historical perspective of the Mexican Revolution. I liked the magical realism of Simonopio's character and the hook that introduced him! He's an incredibly lovable character.
What I didn't like:
It felt white-washed and was awfully wordy. Certain events carried on far too long. I struggled connecting to the other characters as they had social privilege. This book probably could have been wrapped up in half the pages and had a more thoughtful word choice.
