Resumen del Editor
An unforgettable YA debut about two Latina teens growing up in East Oakland as they discover that the world is brimming with messy complexities, perfect for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo and Erika L. Sánchez.
Belén Dolores Itzel del Toro wants the normal stuff: to experience love or maybe have a boyfriend or at least just lose her virginity. But nothing is normal in East Oakland. Her father left her family. She’s at risk of not graduating. And Leti, her super-Catholic, nerdy-ass best friend, is pregnant—by the boyfriend she hasn’t told her parents about, because he’s Black, and her parents are racist.
Things are hella complicated.
Weighed by a depression she can’t seem to shake, Belén helps Leti, hangs out with an older guy, and cuts a lot of class. She soon realizes, though, that distractions are only temporary. Leti is becoming a mother. Classmates are getting ready for college. But what about Belén? What future is there for girls like her?
From debut author Carolina Ixta comes a fierce, intimate examination of friendship, chosen family, and the generational cycles we must break to become our truest selves.

Historia
After high school graduation, Mia Peters faces a summer full of painful goodbyes. Songwriting is her only solace. Everyone she knows is moving on, including Britt, her biggest supporter … and kind-of-sort-of girlfriend. Britt keeps pushing Mia to go bigger and do better than their small town, but Mia can’t imagine a life beyond Sunset Cove. Besides, she refuses to follow in the footsteps of her late mother—country music star Tori Rose—who abandoned her family to pursue her dream, leaving Mia and her two grandmothers alone.

Historia
Told in luminous, perceptive prose, The Last Fire Season is a deeply incisive inquiry into what it really means—now—to live in relationship to the elements of the natural world. When Manjula Martin moved from the city to the woods of Northern California, she wanted to be closer to the wilderness that she had loved as a child. She was also seeking refuge from a health crisis that left her with chronic pain, and found a sense of healing through tending her garden beneath the redwoods of Sonoma County.

Historia
As a child, Matt Hay didn’t know his hearing wasn’t the way everyone else processed sound—because of the workarounds he did to fit in, even the school nurse didn’t catch his condition at the annual hearing and vision checks. But by the time he was a prospective college student and couldn’t pass the entrance requirements for West Point, Hay’s condition, generated by a tumor, was unavoidable: his hearing was going, and fast. A personal soundtrack was Hay’s determined compensation for his condition.

Nida has always been known as Mamou Abdul-Hafeedh’s niece—the poet who will fill her uncle’s shoes after he was wrongfully incarcerated during the war on terror.

Waiting in the emergency room at Temple University Hospital in North Philadelphia where his eighteen-year-old nephew, Nasir, lay unconscious after being shot nine times, MK Asante began pouring his heart and soul into a series of letters to a beautiful, dying Black boy so full of life. As Nasir fought for survival, MK realized there was so much—too much—that he had kept from his nephew, starting with the truth about his father, MK’s brother, Uzi, whom Nasir had never met. MK could no longer remain silent because in many ways, his nephew was repeating the mistakes of the past.

Historia
Olivia Strauss is turning thirty-nine. No major milestone. She still considers herself young. At least young enough to assume she has decades (emphasis on the plural) to check the unchecked boxes of her life’s to-do list. Ballerina? Too late. But not too late for poet. Or for reigniting the romantic spark in her marriage, spending more quality time with her son, switching careers, learning to cook, or even dyeing her hair a bright bohemian pink. She’ll get to that one. There’s time—until Olivia’s best friend, Marian, gives her a birthday present she could have lived without.

A painfully real story
I loved this book. It is a story that is happy at times, sad at times, but always real.

The author is a master storyteller
It made me think about myself when I was 17, I was frustrated for the character but also frustrated for my younger self, I wish she could read this. Brought me back to a time I think alot of people can relate to.
My favorite quote “blood is only thicker than water until you’re drowning in it.”
Congrats on a beautiful debut

A novel for the Bay
Being in my late 20’s, what I loved about this book was how much it brought me back to a period in my life I don’t think about too often. The author did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life, and I often had the thought of “Oh yeah, I totally remember feeling that way in high school.” I also really enjoyed the setting of Oakland. Being from the Bay Area, it was fun to visually be taken back down the streets that are so familiar, or to have a moment of recognition for locations like the donut shop where you can also get Chinese food in Fruitvale. I think anyone familiar with the area will enjoy this read for the setting alone and the story of challenging family dynamics only adds to the relatability. Looking forward to reading more from Ixta.

Absolutely loved this book!
As someone who grew up in the Bay, this book made me homesick in the best ways. Not only with the descriptions of Oakland/Fruitvale, but also with the familiarity of each character. I feel like I grew up with Belén and Leti too! I’m so moved by the heart of this story and loved witnessing it all unfold.

LOVED!
Throughly enjoyed the story of Belen and Leti’s friendship. Belen’s family isn’t something common like having a mother who’s a college educated graduate and how that is seen as problematic in a marriage. Great insight to that world
