A review by vmugarte
Lobizona by Romina Garber

5.0

“Why be a son of the system when you can mother a movement?” Wow. What a book to read during this time of upheaval. Garber deftly deals with many issues that plague the Latine community including machismo, sexuality and immigration. She even touches on the hyper masculine nature of our language with the title “Lobizona.” Manu is a strong smart and self sufficient protagonist and this book deftly deals with traditional YA love triangle.

There are moments where the book, like Manu, wants to be more than what it is. But it is ok- this was a wonderful debut to help us begin hard conversations.
