'This gripping debut about a Mexican-American misfit is alive and crackling - a gritty tale wrapped in a page-turner... Part detective story, part coming-of-age tale, Sanchez's novel doesn't shy from heavy subject matter.' -- New York Times 'This book will change everything... A perfect book about imperfection.' -- Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States 'Unique and fresh.' -- Entertainment Weekly 'A wonderfully complex and interesting character.' -- Los Angeles Review of Books 'If you ever wanted to [understand] the harsh truths of immigrant life, this is the book you need to read.' -- Bustle 'Years ago, I fell in love with Erika L. Sanchez' stunning novel... The depth, wit and searing intelligence of her writing, and her young Latina heroine, struck me to my core and left me wanting so much more.' -- America Ferrera 'An earnest and heartfelt tale.' -- Booklist
