  “Marcela finds out that she's half white, the result of an affair her mother had. Add to that her family's assertions that she's a sell-out, and not Mexican enough, and she's questioning her identity. So she, with the help of her best friend, makes a list of 10 steps that will help her discover her inner Latina and in the process find her self and get her family off her back. Really good story about a journey of self-discovery.”

  “I absolutely love this book! Lara Rios did a wonderful job in creating a very believable character, Marcela, that brings up the true issues that sorround Latinas living in the United States. What does it really mean to be Mexicana/Latina? Is there such a thing to be a true Mexicana/Latina? What makes you a Mexicana/Latina? I found this book to be very funny, romantic, and most of all, inspirational. It has encouraged me to be who I really am without worrying to be too Mexican.”

  “I like the culture that was in this book. It had been awhile since I had read any that have mexican culture in it. It was good once it got going. ”

  “This was hilarious! I laughed through much of the book and empathized with the main character as she tried to be "more Mexican." ”
