This was a gorgeous collection of essays. I particularly loved Mark Oshiro's -- it was so powerful, but all were so amazingly written.

What a beautiful and heartbreaking collection of Latiné stories and voices. These stories are a perfect example of how latinidad is not a monolith and while weay share in some things like language and culture it's not the same. All experiences are different, dialects, language, culture and so many more aspects that make up is are all so different. I absolutely adore these stories and highly recommend listening to the audiobook and getting to experience each author narrating their own story.

This was a wonderful collection of authors (some new to me, some I've read before) that explore Latinx identity. I really wish I had a book like this when I was a teenager - it definitely helped me as a person in their late 20s. These essays were sometimes harsh, but mostly like a warm hug you didn't know you needed.
