I read this book for a Latinas/BIPOC book club and it was very enjoyable even with the heavier topics the author shared in her story. As it was released this year the content of her story was very current and relatable especially as a fellow Mexican American femme person who grew up as a first gen immigrant in a Mexican family with all the pressures, expectations, and more that go into surviving and thriving in life. Big themes are the impact of racism, capitalism, classism, family separation and the harm of the model minority myth. I loved how the author wrote in such a relatable and human tone that didn’t tell how smart she was, it showed us. ♥️ thank you Elizabeth

One of the best immigrant stories I've read. Ms Camarillo conveys the sense of helplessness and obligation many children of immigrant families feel. I hope she continues to write. She is a gifted storyteller.
