The House on Mango Street
4.25 ⭐️
This book was so lyrical!
Told as if it were poetry, this story centers around Esperanza, a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago on Mango Street. Each short story compiled together tells sometimes tragic sometimes joyful pieces of her life growing up.
I really enjoyed this glimpse into this beautiful main character and it genuinely made me feel like I was listening to poetry!

I read this for school and really enjoyed it. It was really interesting watching the character grow up and come into her own. the writing style feels really personal like the character is talking to you. This is an excellent coming of age novel. It deals with a lot of issues/topics like class, race, sexuality, growing up, and being a girl. Because of this, it was interesting to talk about in class/with a group. This was my first time reading something with vignettes and it was really interesting. Overall, this is a great book for teens, especially for school.
