Well, dear readers, Next Year in Havana falls into the latter. I absolutely ate this book up! I typically get nauseated when I read in the car, but we were taking a trip to Florida and I just couldn't wait to read it. Once I started the first page, I could not stop. I devoured the entire thing before we even reached our destination!
Next Year in Havana is an absolute gem of a novel! Family secrets, danger, romance, food, music, and Cuban history all combine to make for an unforgettable read. I will never forget Elisa and Marisol and I had a particularly deep connection with Beatriz, who I am thrilled to hear will have her own book next year!
I cannot recommend this novel enough. It is absolute perfection! Bravo to Chanel Cleeton...she did her family proud!...more
