Las rosas de mayo

I am not sure how to explain how I feel about this book. I loved the butterfly garden and I read it in one sitting just like I did this one. Initially, I didn't get into the book as quickly as I did the first book. I find it easier to get into books when they are told in the...what I think is called the first person narrative. This book alternates more than the first one did. However, the story is good. It actually is quite thought provoking. It brings up many interesting points: how the media often persecutes and harasses victims of crimes, how the delays in the justice system can delay healing, and the difficulties faced in people trying to start a new life after a tragedy (both for victims and the families of the victims). I thought it was a different story yet a masterful next installments all in one.

I loved that the author added the story of Priya and the way it wraps everything up yet leaves room for more.
