I just could not get into this, but I appreciated the insight into Mexican American culture (which is why I gave it 3 rather than 2 stars).

This book somehow encapsulates the nuanced experience of being Latina, even more specifically, a Tejano woman. The beauty and tragedy that is bestowed upon women is so well captured. The complication and joy of being in a big Mexican family. I felt my experience as a Mexican-American and Tejano woman through the characters' stories.

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

I’m going to come back to this eventually. It just wasn’t the book for now. The premise is something I usually enjoy.
