West Side Live Story by Priscilla Oliveras
I absolutely loved this book! It is phenomenal! I am so here for all female Mariachi!
This is the second time I've read this book and I still love it so much! My cousin-in-love is in an All Female Mariachi and the ladies of Flor de Toloache SLAY!
Things I am here for:
Romeo and Juliet/West Side Story retelling
Authentic Latina/o/e/x representation
Star crossed lovers
Mariachi!
All Female Mariachi!
Strong women
Found family, foster children/adults, past trauma and finding the family you love
All of the nuances of those childhoods and growing into adults. There is so much care in this story.
Good and bad gentrification debate. How to revitalize communities, and keep culture, and longtime residents protected.
Spanish sprinkled throughout ❤️
This is my second book for The Diverse Baseline Challenge, the first for the January prompt of a Latina/o/e/x Author.
