I had it at University and it turned out to be quite a gem. The (Mexican) migrant experience in America of assimilation, cultural differences, and identity formation is quaintly captured. Some stories are a real pleasure to read with their easy writing style and childlike simplicity.

I had such a wonderful time reading this collection of stories by Sandra Cisneros! The stories are so thoughtful and well-written. I am in amazement! I liked that I felt the stories were very relatable to me and really touched my heart and soul. I felt inspired while reading. I feel close to her since she is Mexican American also. I read the stories at night before bedtime. I went ahead and bought her book Caramelo next which I am currently reading. It will be my second time reading it, as I read it once over a decade ago in my twenties.
