"Author's third novel and a long-awaited sequel to her first autobiographical novel, Cuando era puertorriqueña. She continues to chronicle her life as she leaves her childhood behind and enters adult life where her American values increasingly clash with those of her Puerto Rican parents. Most of all, this novel helps understand how Esmeralda Santiago, the writer was formed and became a writer"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

3 stars

I read this book a while ago and I remember liking it, but it has completely left my head. So I am going to have to call it forgettable.
