possibly because i didn't like the narration but also because i was in the mood for a memoir not essays. so i need to adjust my expectations.

I was recommended this book by a mentor of mine and did not realize it was the same author who wrote another one of my favorites "I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter". I relate A LOT to Ericka in a lot of ways, but we also differ a lot. This made reading it so much more enjoyable because you had no idea what she was going to say next!

Love hate relationship with the author. Her writing is beautiful and I applaud her vulnerable honesty in this collection. However, I can’t shake the feeling that it comes from a place of pretentiousness. Overall I feel like I like this author’s work, but we would never be friends. And that’s okay, it’s still a book worth reading!
