it’s hard to rate this collection because the last story was incredibly compelling and beautiful and some of the beginning stories were really thought-provoking, but there were a few stories that i found rather boring and lacking any sort of insight into the world of the characters at the individual or societal level. in the stories that were good there were reflections on class, gender, and immigration status and what it means to care for one another

I began this book unable to immerse myself in the stories. I found them to be too brief for me to care, and I did not see the meanings in the stories. But that did change towards the end, as the stories became interconnected. I grew appreciative of the syntax and the messages attempting to be conveyed. I think this is a great collection that captures the culture it sets out to do.

gorgeous, taught me a lot about experiences of Latinx folks in the fresno area, very beautiful ruminations on queerness & regret & obligations & (no pun intended) consequences.
