Summary

"Belen 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 ar ehella complicated. Weighed down by a depression she can't seem to shake, Belen 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 Belen? What future is there for girls like her? From debut author Carolina Ixta comes a fierce, intimate examination of friendship, chosen family, and the generation cycles we must break to become our true selves." --, Book jacket
