A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

Shortlisted for the 2020 Women's Prize for Fiction

"Through a novel with so much depth, beauty, and grace, we, like Ana, are forever changed." --Jacqueline Woodson, Vanity Fair

"Gorgeous writing, gorgeous story." --Sandra Cisneros

Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn't matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year's Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by Cesar, Juan's free-spirited younger brother, who convinces her to stay.

As the Dominican Republic slides into political turmoil, Juan returns to protect his family's assets, leaving Cesar to take care of Ana. Suddenly, Ana is free to take English lessons at a local church, lie on the beach at Coney Island, see a movie at Radio City Music Hall, go dancing with Cesar, and imagine the possibility of a different kind of life in America. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family.

In bright, musical prose that reflects the energy of New York City, Angie Cruz's Dominicana is a vital portrait of the immigrant experience and the timeless coming-of-age story of a young woman finding her voice in the world.

Cat approves, easy to use, comfortable to grip, sturdy.
Color: Microbrush Kit, Color: Microbrush Kit
My cat seems to love it so that's a automatic win! I was a little unsure about using a long handled toothbrush, I thought it would be more difficult to use but turns out its actually easier than the little finger brushes. The heads on the toothbrushes can be swapped, making it so that you dont have to buy a whole new one. It's been a few months since I bought it and its holding up well, no major wear on it aside from some gnaw marks from my Chonk chewing on it. Fits nicely in my hand and the brush head isn't too big for my cats tiny faces & teeth. I'd recommend it so far and I'm going to keep on with this brush instead of trying a new product every time.

its packaged nice and it is a smaller product to fit in kitty mouths but still not great.
Color: Microbrush Kit
it's a nice product but still doesn't make my cats any easier to brush. Nor does it seem enjoyable. I enjoy brushing my teeth and I want them too also. I believe cats life would be so much longer if we brushed their teeth. Think about how early our ancestors died before proper dental care.

Great Grip and Perfect for Reaching Back Teeth
Color: Microbrush Kit
Summary: A thoughtfully designed toothbrush that makes feline dental care much easier. Pros: • Comfortable, secure grip that makes brushing feel more controlled • Great design for reaching back teeth, which can be the hardest area to clean • My cats don’t mind getting their teeth brushed with this, which is a huge plus • Removable, replaceable brush head, so you don’t have to buy a whole new tool each time Overall: If you’re looking for an effective way to brush your cat’s teeth, this is a very well thought-out design. It worked great with my cats, and I’m genuinely grateful for how much easier it has made our brushing routine.

Good deal
Scent: North Bondi, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Good quality for the price. Smell of clean sheets (that is not a very safe blind buy considering that smells of cleanness are very particular), also has a strong note of violet flowers, consider it while buying. It is also pretty long-lasting for these types of perfumes. Overall, I’m happy with a purchase and a scent, what surprised me the most is the magnetic cap.

Amazing scent!
Scent: North Bondi, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
AMAZING smell, and it lasts so long too! I did one spray and could smell it for the rest of the day. The perfect scent for someone who doesn’t like overpowering, but also wants a clean scent. I am OBSESSED.
