aja, ahora es la breve y maravillosa vida de Belicia Cabral y no hace mucho la de Lola 🤨

¿Cómo que también hay capítulos con la perspectiva de la hermana? 😭 más o menos va por el mismo camino que Tropicália

I'm mad this is low-key relatable 🤠 also Junot is too funny with it 😭 loving it so far!

Martinha 3

Maria’s POV is actually wicked.

“Memory is a mosquito. Dengue filled, yellow fevered.”

Her grandma dying right next to her and her not getting anyone to take the corpse away until the morning actually did put a curse on her, smh.

LUCIA AND MARTINHA DESERVE BETTER 💔

mmm what the actual fuck, Daniel? 💀

gagged me when they said Rachel is Larry’s daughter……. this book is too much fun when you visualize it as a telenovela

So each chapter is from the perspective of each family member and grandma’s is honestly so wild 😭 her mother telling her, ON HER DEATHBED, that she wishes her daughter, WHO IS TAKING CARE OF HER DESPITE HAVING BEEN ABUSED AND NEGLECTED HER WHOLE CHILDHOOD, had died instead of her son……..

Oh, grandma, you’re better than me 💀

two chapters in and it’s already so dramatic + the writing style is so fresh and casual ! I’m digging it

Isabel. My precious.

For some reason, I remember really liking this book when I was in middle school. So when someone in my building decided to leave it behind during their move, I seized the opportunity to revisit it.

A punto de empezar el último capítulo y me sorprende la gran cantidad de errores ortográficos que tiene el libre. ¿Será que no lo leyeron antes de aprobar su publicación?

DING DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD!

Nota: si mal no recuerdo, la escandalosa historia de amor de Mamá Elena no fue incluida en la película. Irónicamente, en vez de acabar con las costumbres que no hacen más que herir a las mujeres de su familia, quiso arrebatarle a Tita la oportunidad de amar verdaderamente como lo hicieron con ella.

A los años de enamorarme perdidamente de la película y la receta de codornices en pétalos de rosas, empiezo a leer esta maravilla en español y el amor por la lectura vuelve a renacer en mi 🤍

The mom’s death was so anticlimactic, but so real. Uno propone y Dios dispone.

Reading with my brother for his summer reading homework before high school. The mom’s a baddie but also intense. So far so good, and entertaining. The timeline jumps are so smooth, what a relief.

does this series actually end? 💀 we’ve been going around in circles for too long

How much longer will this go on for? 💀
