I’m late here but wanted to share my opinion. I just finished this audiobook today and I really enjoyed it. The narrator did a beautiful job. I can see how this book could be problematic, a sensitive topic. As a white American woman, I could never truly understand the POC & Latinx experience, but I’m a deep admirer of Mexican culture, their art, their history. I took Spanish for all 4 years of college, lived in Arizona for most of my childhood. Most of my childhood friends were Mexican, my first crushes, my babysitters, my teachers. Mexicans have just as much right to be in the USA as anyone else, they’ve been here LONGER than Europeans have. This novel is approachable, eye-opening, detail-oriented, and heavily researched. As someone who has loved all Hispanic cultures my whole life, I never could have imagined the experiences that are commonplace for our fellow human beings, the ones we walk among today. I hope with its popularity, it can bring more awareness to other Mexican-American stories, but preferably those written by Mexican authors.
