“I have one word for this book: raunchy.
I have read several of her books, and this book is absolutely nothing like her usual writing. I was extremely disappointed in this book. It had no substance, no depth, and the fact that she did not include parentheses when the characters were speaking, just bothered me.
Why Ana Castillo would choose to write about a woman in her forties that is careless, to say the least, with her actions, is beyond me. Most of the characters in her books are inspiring and/or make you examine and question your identity and spirit. This book did nothing. I completely disliked the main character, I mean, c’mon now?? She’s a woman in her forties making teenage mistakes. No maturity whatsoever.
What was the worse, was the continual promiscuous behavior of the main character. We are reading sexual actions over and over again, like every two pages. If I wanted to read an erotica novel, I would have bought an erotica novel. This over abundance of sex scenes with both men and women gets boring quick. She even has sex with a nun, like really???
I would like to think that perhaps Ana Castillo was experimenting with her writing. Otherwise, I have no explanation as to why she would write such a baseless and raunchy book.
If you are reading Ana Castillo for the first time, please do not start with this book. You will be extremely disappointed. Reading her earlier works will give you a better perception and appreciation for the greatness in Castillo’s writing.”
