What a beautiful and heartbreaking collection of Latiné stories and voices. These stories are a perfect example of how latinidad is not a monolith and while weay share in some things like language and culture it's not the same. All experiences are different, dialects, language, culture and so many more aspects that make up is are all so different. I absolutely adore these stories and highly recommend listening to the audiobook and getting to experience each author narrating their own story.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Sexism, Racism, Racial slurs, Xenophobia, Classism, Religious bigotry, and Mental illness

The narration was phenomenal. I loved that each author got to narrate their own part. I think that brought life to the book, them being able to tell their own stories verbally.
It was a challenging read no doubt, but it was an important one.
