Miss Quinces by Kat Fajardo

5.0

I laughed out loud several times in this book as Suyapa processed the world through her lens, trying to fit in but staying true to herself. You could tell fairly early on where the plot was going but I was still so sad when Abuelita passed. But I loved the message and the incredible legacy she left behind. It makes you wonder what impact you have on others, most of the time you're not even aware. I don't think Abuelita was aware.
I loved how she and her daughter (Mami) viewed Suyapa's differences! Nobody can put you in your place like your mom and no one can love you like your grandma!
LOVED LOVED LOVED Fajardo sharing her own quinces pictures. Also loved the Honduran-American representation.
Looking forward to so much more from Fajardo. Excited that she's in Austin too!!
