In this book, generations of women are cursed for their life’s meaning to be the opposite of their names. I’m not going to lie, it took me a while to not be confused by this. The three main character’s names are Olvido, Angustias, and Felicitas. Angustias was not a mean person, she just didn’t understand the power of names for women in her family.

This was a pretty story. The characters reminded me a bit of the Disney movie, “Encanto,” because each woman has a special power. Olvido is an excellent cook, and whoever eats her food will spill their secrets. Angustias can see people’s feelings and Felicitas can see… dead people. The book begins with Olvido’s death, which is also the beginning of her relationship with Felicitas. The dialogue in this book was fun to read; I enjoyed Felicitas’ sarcasm and dark side the most. I was really rooting for her in the end and I’m glad that all of them resolved the issues each of them had with their own respective mothers.
