Review of 'How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents (Essential Edition): (Plume Essential Edition).' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

We start off meeting the four Garcia girls and their extended family as we learn about the desire to return to the Dominican Republic. As the book works backwards through their lives, we learn about the complexity of each girl's life, their struggles to fit in, and the reasons they end up leaving in the first place. This is a well woven set of stories that helps me better understand the stories of people from the Dominican Republic that I have met.
