this was fun to read. i wasn't expecting much bc it's so short but the way it's written makes it super engaging. i love the short chapters and the writing style, it makes esperanza an interesting character. i kind of wanted it to be longer bc i wanted to know more about the people in the neighborhood. i don't have much to say abt this book bc it's so short, but it was fun reading and i relate to esperanza in some sense.
