Books That Burn reviewed Paola Santiago and the River of Tears by Tehlor Kay Mejia (Paola Santiago, #1)
Review of 'Paola Santiago and the River of Tears' on 'Storygraph'
I wasn't liking it much and then I got to the bit with the former classmate and I got really frustrated so I stopped. I didn't like the combination of how long it took for the main character to get what was going on, plus how little the people with actual answers were willing to tell her. I don't know whether I would have liked this as a kid or not, but it's definitely not for me now.
