Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros

I am so enjoying the audio version of this book, read by the author. She is hilarious and this has to be the vest version of the book available. It is a little on the long side, but I've got to see how it ends. I'm picking up so many funny sayings, like "what a barbarity!" As the N.Y. Times book review said, it's a "joyful, fizzy American novel. . . soulful, sophisticated and skeptical, full of great one-liners. . . . I'm loving it, and will never forget it!
