I think I read this in school, but picked it up to complete one of the Goodreads challenges. I am crying in the club (at work). It’s written from the point of view from a young girl, and I think it was executed perfectly. It’s heart wrenching seeing Esperanza take in her unfair, and often cruel, world through her own naive and whimsical lens.
