There were a handful of moments throughout the book that made me step away because of how intensely I resonated with Cherrie. I think it’s a great read for chicana/Mexican lesbians who have a complicated relationship with their mothers. I felt like I learned a lot about my own relationship with my mother & there are definitely aspects I wish to take away from this & apply. The end of the book & Cherrie’s mother’s life was a bit of a tearful read. The part where her mother asked Cherrie if she really thought there was anything she could do that would stop her from being her daughter after coming out was honestly really touching as someone who has yet to come out. The pacing was a bit slow but the end makes it all worth it I think!
