Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros is one of the few books that actually spoke to me.
Possibly because I'm Mexican and the book is about a Mexican family.
That could be it... Or it could be because it is about a crazy family dynamic... And my family is crazy.
Or it's because she is actually a decent writer!
Honestly though I'm not sure if someone who doesn't come from a Hispanic background would enjoy the book as much as I did.
Can't tell if I'm just biased because I can relate so much. If anyone else has read it I would be happy to hear your take.
If you haven't read it, it is most likely because you are not Mexican which proves my point! Ipso facto, I win again!
