that was a cute short book. a collection of short, short stories or “vignettes” about cisneros’s coming of age experience growing up in chicago. i think i would’ve enjoyed this more if i was younger. tbh it was hard to stay engaged & excited to keep reading. some of the stories were quite sad actually. the writing structure fell a bit flat for me but i enjoyed branching out! i can definitely see this book being enjoyable/relatable for other folks. just trying to catch up on my reading goal for the year rn though. also first book on kindle hehe

Truly an insight of being a first generation Mexican American and all of the different feelings you experience as a kid
Required reading for my AP English class in 12th grade. Of the 5 or 6 that we had to read that year, I remember that this was one that I liked more. However, 7 years later, I can't recall much of the storyline - guess it didn't leave much of an impact.

I probably should not even rate this… I listened to the whole thing but had a hard time paying attention for whatever reason. Too much going on this week. I wish I had read this in school. Maybe I’ll return to it one day.

You know how certain sentences make you angry because they’re so beautiful and you know you’ll never write anything that good? That’s most of this book.
