Having personal cultural ties to this book, there were a lot of moments where the author would describe a behavior or thought process they had in response to old school Mexican views and I kept picturing myself at various moments. It’s well written, easy to read and a nice flow. It was really fun to identify so much with a book and a character and see a lot of struggles for young Mexican girls and women being brought to light and into question about the injustice and misogyny at the root.
