Resumen del Editor
Four cousins navigate love, loss, and the meaning of family over the course of one memorable year in this heartfelt family drama.
Cousins Mari, Erica, Selena, and Gracie are inseparable. They aren’t just family but best friends—sharing secrets, traditions, and a fierce love for their abuelita. But their idyllic childhood ends when Mari’s parents divorce, forcing her to move away. With Mari gone, the girls’ tight-knit bond unravels.
Fifteen years later, Mari’s got the big house and handsome husband, but her life is in shambles. Erica’s boyfriend just dumped her, and her new boss hates her. Selena can’t seem to find her place in the world—not Mexican enough for her family, not white enough for her colleagues. And Gracie is a Catholic school teacher with an all-consuming crush, but she can’t trust herself when it comes to romance.
As rocky as the cousins’ lives have become, nothing can prepare them for the heartbreaking loss of a loved one. When tragedy reunites them, will they remember their abuelita’s lessons about family and forgiveness—or are fifteen years of separation too much to overcome?

A summer job. That's all it was supposed to be. It never crossed my mind that I was about to collide with a man who would obliterate every plan I ever made. My mother has always warned me that love is like a lightning bolt and it strikes without warning. But I had no intention of getting struck by either lightning or love anytime soon. I'd be too busy finishing my journalism degree and landing a job in a city far more sophisticated than Phoenix. There was certainly nothing in the cards about getting involved with an ex-ballplayer turned nightclub boss.

Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika Sánchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she’s now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she’s still got an irrepressible laugh, an acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her.

Historia
America Ferrera has always felt wholly American, and yet, her identity is inextricably linked to her parents’ homeland and Honduran culture. Speaking Spanish at home, having Saturday morning salsa-dance parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her American identity. Still, she yearned to see that identity reflected in the larger American narrative. Now, in American Like Me, America invites 31 of her friends, peers, and heroes to share their stories about life between cultures.

Charlie Vega is a lot of things. Smart. Funny. Artistic. Ambitious. Fat. People sometimes have a problem with that last one. Especially her mom. Charlie wants a good relationship with her body, but it's hard, and her mom leaving a billion weight loss shakes on her dresser doesn't help. The world and everyone in it have ideas about what she should look like: thinner, lighter, slimmer-faced, straighter-haired. Be smaller. Be whiter. Be quieter. But there's one person who's always in Charlie's corner: her best friend Amelia.

Prieta is a term of endearment. When I tell people who don’t speak Spanish what prieta means—dark or the dark one—their eyes pop open and a small gasp escapes. I see the offense they feel for me sprinkled on their faces like the freckles I will never have. How do I tell them that when I heard Ita say Prieta, I felt the caress of her strong hands on the top of my head as she braided my hair?

Love of self and life!
Another wonderfully written book to add to your TBR list! Witty and real. Authentic and warm. Hispanic heritage flows through in a storyline anyone could relate to. Once I got going I could not put it down.

Great story. Some parts were predictable (and wonderful) rom-com fodder. Other parts definitely were not.

Brings back memories....
..Of all the times my mom, sisters, sisters-in-law and nieces would gather around the table to make tamales for Christmas.
A well told story about four cousins, their journeys in life, careers and family. The love and respect shown for their grandmother and great grandmother is endearing.
The narrators are amazing!
Can't wait for Annette Chavez Macias's next book.

A story about family.
If you are a Hispanic person this book will resonate with you. If you are Mexican American then you have to do this book. So much of this story brought me so much joy and tears.
La familia is everything. Forever for always no matter what. This is a story of family. Of the importance of a family. It is about tradition and loss. It is about being women on their journeys and finding their way.
It is a family having to come together after losing a matriarch. This story is a beautiful love story to any Mexican American family. We are big, we are loud but we are faithful and loyal. No matter what.

Good storyline told from different perspectives. Very enjoyable story to listen to! The varied voices and interspersing of Spanish within the English was fun.

A winner!
This is melodrama from a contemporary Mexican-American perspective. The storyline was engaging from beginning to end, and I became emotionally involved with the four young women looking for romance. Highly recommended.

One of my favorites for 2023!!
This book was chosen for book club and I cannot rave about it enough. It is one of my favorites of the year. Annette Chavez Macias did such a great job with the story telling it drew me in and made me feel like I was part of the story. I will definitely be reading more of her books
It’s a story about a Mexican American family focused on the bond of four cousins Gracie, Selena, Maricela, and Erica. You learn about what broke their bond and read along with them as they work their way back to each through communication and forgiveness. They share a love for their Welita who they learn so much about love, family, and life. Please read this book!!!!
