I talk about this book in my April reading wrap-up.

Here is a book that I've been meaning to read for forever and did not disappoint. I can see where others may have struggled with this story (the lack of punctuation, the 'novel' told in vignettes, the lack of real plot, etc) but I loved Esperanza's story and her voice and the way Cisneros weaves poetry into the things she writes. I also found myself relating to a lot of the feels Esperanza expressed, from her name to her desire to have her own home to the way she saw and interacted with some of her neighbors and family. There were characters in this story that I felt I'd met before.

I really loved this to pieces and already know I want to revisit it in the future.
