My first book is down, refreshingly fast! I picked this one because I felt like I was going to identify strongly with the main character. I was right.
Capsule review: "I have to say, this book hit me where I live. Like Erica, I had a mom who got breast cancer. (She's fine now.) I also grew up Latina, with Spanish and English in my ears and Tex-Mex cooking in my home. And of course, no matter what your ethnicity, everybody can relate to the agonizing experience of being a middle-schooler."
Since the sun has gone down, the temperature has cooled off to something less than the surface of Mercury, so I'm going to take a walk and cue up my audiobook for a little while before I start my next book.
Fast books are perfect for 48 HBC, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHere it is chilly--had to put my fleecy jacket on this morning!
ReplyDeleteI hope your reading goes well today!
Enjoy your walk!
ReplyDeleteI took one too. It's nice to get outside. :)

This one is on my book order for next year. It sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI had hoped to read this one for the challenge but my library request didn't come in fast enough. I enjoyed Confetti Girl, Lopez's earlier book.
