Such a poignant, important story that resonates so much with Tejanos. The influence of vaquero culture, border and race relations, and pop culture of chicanos who straddle both worlds. Seeing two women who the world has not been kind to make decisions, for better or worse to be their authentic selves, despite the judgement of others made me reflect on what I had in common with them. This book also lead me down a rabbit hole of research. Lastly, I love the homage to Selena. 5 stars.
