Praise for this book
Amazon - "Writing as if each sentence is a punch. Short. Blunt. To the point."
Amazon - "I felt transported to the places where these events occured. Not a feel-good bedtime book, but a powerful awakening to what's going..."
Amazon - "Every chapter hits like a punch—protests, torture, hunger, betrayal—and yet the writing is beautiful. Terrifyingly beautiful. I couldn’t stop thinking about Claudia, Meri, Angel… These characters will stay with me forever."
Goodreads - "And when I finished, I didn’t want to start another book right away. I just needed a moment.
Cancer in Paradise is the kind of book that makes you uncomfortable in the right way. It wakes you up. And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need."
Goodreads - "What makes this book special is how real it feels. The way Luis Wettal writes is sharp but not flashy. He doesn’t dress up suffering—he lays it bare."
Goodreads - "This isn’t a feel-good story. But it’s a necessary one. It left me with more empathy, more awareness, and more questions. And honestly, that’s more valuable than any neat ending."
