Around the World Reading Challenge: PUERTO RICO
===
I really enjoyed this one! As part of this challenge I've been trying to prioritize books with queer themes and I was really excited to find a book set in the Caribbean, detailing the lives of various queer people (mostly gay men, drag queens, and trans women) in Puerto Rico and the DR. The writing style and structure was quite unique as well, with multiple POVs told in different tenses and person perspectives. I can see how it might not work for some people, but I quite enjoyed it. The characters were really interesting and grabbed me right away, and the book covers a lot of more difficult themes but it never felt overwhelmingly depressing. I found this really engaging and interesting!
