Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Uprooted from her comfortable life in Bogotá, Colombia, into an ant-infested Miami townhouse, 15-year-old Francisca is miserable and friendless in her strange new city. Her alienation grows when her mother is swept up into an evangelical church, replete with Christian salsa, abstinent young dancers, and baptisms for the dead. But there, Francisca also meets the magnetic Carmen: opinionated and charismatic, head of the youth group, and the pastor’s daughter. As her mother’s mental health deteriorates and her grandmother descends into alcoholism, Francisca falls in love with Carmen.

Very relatable story written in Spanglish!
Revisado: 12-22-24
The only thing I was missing was some closure with Francisca y Carmen. The story ended seemingly abruptly, but I enjoyed every second before then. The story is written beautifully, almost like a poem. The use of Spanish terminology from South America made me smile. The way Spanish folk seamlessly blend both languages. Truly a beautiful story. Raw. Powerful. Everyone should read!
