Great story and story about straddling two worlds! submitted by goreygirl on June 17, 2023, 5:06pm Having visited Mexico City and loved it I continue to seek out books that feature it as a story line, and even better when this intersects with my love of graphic novel memoirs, and this book didn't disappoint. The author does a wonderful job of evoking the raw experience of feeling like you don't fit anywhere and exploring your identity while evoking the specific Mexican American experience and also telling a universal story. 

Great graphic novel memoir submitted by lauracmcinnis on July 27, 2023, 3:22pm Beautiful coming of age story based on the author’s real life experiences!
