To Selena, With Love by Chris Pérez
5.0
When I first heard of Selena, it was through the film adaptation about her life. It still shocks me that she had to die so young, but I think her voice will continue to inspire people around the world. I was 2 years old when she passed away. I love the fact that Chris wrote this book. It just shows me the true person Selena was. She was a good girl that had a famous career. She showed the world one side to herself that was sexy, while behind the scenes, the true special human being she was came through. I love Selena's music. Even though, I'm not spanish, I love the meaning and how she was able to convey her messages through her voice.
I think what made me love this book was the deep roots of the Quintanilla family. I love Selena. I wish she did not have to die the way she did, and I hope her music inspires the world. I was heart broken when he talked about her and who she was. She sounded like a truly honest, kind-hearted woman of that time. The movie really followed all the points that she shared with the fans in this book. Overall, an emotional read.
