Dear Haiti, Love Alaine

 

πŸ’‹What a fun audio book this was to listen to in February. Drama, adventure, and a wee bit o' romance πŸ‘©‍❤️‍πŸ’‹‍πŸ‘¨, Dear Haiti, Love Alaine had everything I like. Along with 17 year-old Alaine, I even learned more about the interesting Haitian culture. Listeners hear about how Alaine, who lives in Miami, got suspended and sent to Haiti through her diary entries, emails, postcards, and letters. Alaine is a smart & sassy wannabe reporter, with a distant journalist mother who she equal parts emulates and is frustrated with.

This fantastic debut novel was co-written by sisters Maika and Maritza Moulite, and narrated by the skilled Bahni Turpin. I was captivated by Turpin's portrayal of the characters and all those accents and dialects. I looked forward to hearing each diary entry "The Life and Times of Alaine Beauparlant."
All of which makes this awesome audio.

πŸ’Happy Valentine's Day!πŸ’–
