In this heartfelt story about finding love in loss, three widows are forced under the same roof, where they'll need to overcome grief, anger, and old secrets to put their family back together. Since her husband's death six months ago, Yesica Diaz-Taylor seems to be taking her grief in stride. Then an angry outburst at work shatters the illusion. Her mandated support group counseling doesn't help much. Yesica has always kept her feelings close, so even when an unlikely friendship blossoms with the group's facilitator, she still has reasons for holding back. She's just not ready to share. Ana Diaz has been widowed for five years and continues to live life exactly as she did with her late husband. When her house floods, she's forced to shake things up. Although it was never part of her plan, Ana moves in with her eldest daughter, Yesica. But the new living arrangement tests their already strained relationship. Shadowed by unresolved tensions, Yesica, Ana, and matriarch Mama Melda must learn to share a home, their heartbreak, and, once and for all, the haunting family secrets that have kept them apart.

I thought Yesica was annoying most of the time because of how she treated her mother vs how she treated others but I really enjoyed this book. I loved the Spanish phrases incorporated into the story and I loved Yesicaβs growth (it took forever in my opinion). My favorite part was when she confronted that horrid mother-in-law of hers and I was glad when she got to say her goodbyes to her father-in-law, who was nothing like his wife. Such a sad way to say goodbye but it was good for her.
This was a random pick from KU and I definitely picked it because it was centered around the lives of three Latina women living under the same roof once again. My first ever book by Annette and I think I might have just become a fan. This book was well-written and it was easy to read. I recommend it 100%
