Petra Costas seeing her dude get married to queen and being like, “yeah, no, this relationship isn’t over, he’ll be back in a couple months” and then not only does he, but she’s cool with it being on the down low? Again this is emotionally accurate of all the Latino family stories passed down through generations and a specific brand of Latina lunacy.

me, reading other books written by Latinx authors clearly inspired by this book: it’s all about the intricate relationships between family and inheritance between generations that is inherent to the Latin American experience

me, a Latino: time jumping and saying wild shit that the storyteller glosses right over that is inherent to the Latinx experience (or exactly how my family told stories)
