I finished this book an hour ago and I already miss it. The author did such a great job of developing Julia’s character that I want to follow her through college and the rest of her life.
Each character was flawed, passionate in their own ways, and a product of their culture and environment, especially Julia. Her story was both unique and the story of every child of immigrants. I loved the clear and distinct voice she gave to each character and how Chicago played its own role in the story.
The book was both a critique and a love letter to Mexican culture. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will eagerly read anything else she puts out!
