Stories about you, me, our friends and family. There is a memory for all…you will love it!
Reading this well written funny ,dark stories made me laugh and cry. This book really depicted what its like to be a Latina living in any major city. I was born and raised in Chicago and could relate to her stories. Looking forward to reading the next one.
A snap shot of time, place, and human psychology, capturing the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. Must-read stories for any interested in the intersection of Latin culture, urban backgrounds, and the lengths people will go to for the people they love.
