Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed: 15 Voices from the Latinx Diaspora by Saraciea J. Fennell

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

 I picked this up because I feel like I don't read many Latinx (using the term reflected in the book, although I know there is debate surrounding it - I'm not versed enough to comment on it broadly, so I'll leave it there) authors, so this seemed like a way to expand my reading a bit more. That being said, it was an okay read. It felt very YA at times - a lot of essays about discovering identity and coming into yourself, which is part of young adulthood, regardless of race. Like many collections, there were some essays that were great while others were more ok. I think the premise of the book was great, but maybe the execution wasn't quite there.
