Life is Wonderful, People are Terrific by Meliza Banales

3.0

My problem with this book (that honestly bothered me probably more than it should) is the fact that it sells itself as a book written by a “Chicana” or “Latin”, but there are a lot of mistakes in the Spanish words (quierda, llarona, equi). As a native spanish speaker, it just took me out of it and made it feel fake.

The good thing is that (for me) it was engaging, it was interesting to see Missy make mistake after mistake and how it affected her life.
