Decent amount of Spanish in it, but you can figure out what is going on.
"But oh kids, they's cute when they're little, but by the time they start turning ugly, it's too late, you already love them."
Oh, Sandra Cisneros~

All the stories featured incredibly real, flawed, and different people. There is an indescribable elegance in Cisneros's writing. My personal favorites were: Never Marry a Mexican, Bread, and Bien Pretty.

I really tried but I just can't connect with this book right now. I want something I don't have to think about and can be entertained by. This book is not it. No offense to Cisneros, it's definitely me.
