I love the ease I have with reading this authors stories. I enjoy the history lesson and the romance.

The book was a little slow, a little too unbelievable. The last chapter brought everything full circle and I’m a sap for a happy ending.

Great book!

What an annoying read; it’s as though the author used a thesaurus for the most basic words for no reason except to make this book un-relatable. She also doesn’t miss an opportunity to remind us of how beautiful and desired the protagonist is, even from the POV of the protagonist. It’s weird.

After very quickly finishing Next Year in Havana I immediately started reading When We Left Cuba. I love how much history is weaved into the stories, while still keeping it focused on the love, lives, and challenges of the main characters. I’m looking forward to the next book!

Could not put the book down. You really feel for Beatriz and all the “ifs” in her life. If you love historical fiction with an air of romance, this is for you.

Quickly devoured this novel in one day! Hope the author treats us with other novels about the other Perez family members and family friends from Cuba.
