Burn Baby Burn

This was one of those day-to-day books of someone's life.

It was nice book. I liked seeing Nora fears, first love, and seeing her handle her dysfunctional family. I loved Stiller, a feminist that lives in Nora's apartment. And I adored her friendship with Katheleen, her best friend. It was nice seeing them go through their own ups and downs.

Now the bad things the bad things:

Instalove
Pablo and Nora fell in love too quickly. Pablo asked her out on one date and then they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Son of Sam
I wish this book featured more Son of Sam and how it affected the community and her dates.

Attitudes
I sometimes didnt like Nora attitude especially towards her counselor, and than this disturbing scene,

“Families are on their way up the hill to St. Andrew's, but all I want to do is throw rocks at them, spit on their heads. I can't bear the sight of all those pink-ribboned hats and white-patent-leather shoes, all those obedient little girls who believe. “Sheep,” I mutter, hating them all. I picture myself a burning bird swooping down to frighten them.”

What in the world? Geez, when did this become a horror book?

Stiller

“She bites straight into her scoop.”

Unnatural, Stiller is a robot.

This was good, and I'm always glad to read a book about fellow latinas, but I think I might have enjoyed it more if I read it during summer. Or listened to music. But yeah. It's nice.
