Resumen del editor
It was supposed to be a good day.
On the one-year anniversary of her divorce, Alex Martinez is getting closure—and margaritas with her two best friends. But just before the celebratory meetup, Alex is clobbered by life once again. Damping the cheer is the diagnosis of a brain tumor she can’t pronounce, a procedure she’d rather postpone, and the prospect of what to say to an already heartbroken mother. Not that Alex plans to tell her anything anytime soon.
Going from blissful to blindsided in one afternoon, Alex has other plans: to be impulsive and embark on an adventure she’ll never forget. Expected destinations: the Grand Canyon, Puerto Rico, and zip-lining through Costa Rica. Unexpected companion: a hiker named David who’s found a woman after his own heart. But no matter how enriching the journey, how long can Alex keep running?
It’s time to accept past griefs, reconnect with her mother, and find her way back to happy. For Alex, whatever the future holds, maybe everything she really needs to face is right where she left it.
Reseñas de la crítica
“Narrator Vivia Font…successfully conveys Alex's stress by increasing her tempo and pitch.… Font successfully switches from English to Spanish when needed. She does an excellent job portraying Alex's mother, a Cuban immigrant, with empathy and humor. Each character has a distinct voice.”—AudioFile Magazine
“Narrator Vivia Font’s authentic pronunciation honors Cuban American Escudero’s (The Apology Project) words. Font ably conveys the wry, bittersweet moments peppered throughout and brings out the emotions in this deeply moving novel. An affecting, expressively told tale of a woman whose illness teaches her many wonderful things. Share with fans of Emma Straub and Rebecca Serle.”—Library Journal
“Cuban American Escudero writes a sometimes gritty, occasionally hilarious, and mostly heart-wrenching story. A relatable, gripping tale, infused with Latinx culture, that packs an emotional wallop.”—Library Journal (starred review)
