From the descriptions I thought it would be quite humorous - it wasn't. There is a lot of Spanish interspersed throughout the book. I am comfortable with that, as I speak Spanish, but not all readers will appreciate it. All in all, I'd say it's an okay read.

I loved this book. Smart, funny, sweet, and great Mexican-American/Chicana story, with one personal tragedy referencing a great tragedy of the historical moment, which is also a beautiful tribute to an author who left us too soon.

I really liked this book, the characters and the plot were pretty believable, except for Texas Cowboy. Why must everyone make Texans over the top! Anyway that aside I really enjoyed the story but did get lost several times trying to translate the spanish. Go figure the only words I really understood were the bad words! I plan on reading more by this author!
