I’ve listened to one other book by this author and thought it was cute. This one is more of the same and the narration was done well for the female characters but not so much for the males. I was so upset for Leah at her cousin’s wedding. Couldn’t she have just wished the bride & groom well in English and avoided any mistakes? I liked the idea of connecting to one’s roots and learning the mother tongue, but wasn’t too invested in Leah’s journey and Cyrus was too much at times.
