Caramelo.....not just candy

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!
