This #OwnVoices debut novel renders visible a wealth of bicultural truth, and the intergenerational unraveling of machismo will resonate with young feminists. VERDICT Redeemable for its brave inquiry into a family, while short, brisk chapters invite readers to recover their own histories and develop self-acceptance and empathy. -- Reviewer SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL While the structure keeps the pace brisk, the intertwined stories explore the family's history through the facets of sisterhood, motherhood, and friendship, creating a character study in family dynamics. A family coming-of-age story of fierce females, at once broad and intimate in scope. -- Reviewer KIRKUS REVIEWS
