Type of read: Commuter Read
What made me pick it up: One of the TN R.E.A.D.s prompts for October is to read a book by a Hispanic or Latinx author. I'm a sucker for "lost" novels.
Overall rating: HOLY FREAKING CRAP. 'Until August' is beautiful. It's tragic and real and honest and painful. The story of a woman finding herself, questioning herself, and just trying to be. 100% would recommend.
