"Ever feel like the land is swallowing you whole, Sierra? That all of this beauty is wrapped around you so tight it's like being in a rattlesnakes mouth?"

"Her hair shone like motor oil, greens and golds and blues all in that black" 

"He came at her with the forces of a rabid dog gnashing into her flesh" 



The writing in this book was beautiful, it is what kept me locked in as well as the common theme on family and gender especially in Latin households. I thought this book had strong messages and executed each story amazingly. There wasn't a single story that made me feel bored. I think each story could stand on its own and with all of them together it just creates a beautiful work that more ppl should read.
