Marita: The Spy Who Loved Castro | 
panIf you're wondering why you've never heard of this woman, there's a reason: these stories are almost certainly made up. In addition to straining the limits of credulity, this is a poorly written book.

I'm bailing. I thiught that there was no way this book would be boring! A spy falling in love with Castro?! No way! I am bored and it doesn't help that Lorenz is not a writer and it is obvious. I've read 100 pages, a lot of stuff has happened, and I just dont care. I'll write a better review for Netgalleh but right now I just needed to vent. This needed a ghostwriter or a collaboration.
This was not the direction I was expecting this book to go. Mind you I hadn't even heard of this woman before getting this ARC so every thing has been pretty revealing. Not sure how much I care for her writing but she has an endearing personality. She feels like that aunt that always has a story to tell and you arent sure how much to believe but some of this stuff you just cant make up...
Finally starting this one today because I've got ARC's. I was really intrigued by this story and it's told by Marita herself and will be a movie soon. I'm finally able to dive in.
