Crying in the Bathroom

It's been a while since a book make me laugh, made me feel seen, and made me cry. Amazing story telling by Erika Sanchez. I feel like I read a part of my life and things to come in from this book. I'm in awe and so blissful knowing she's living a full and wonderful life as a Latina.

Erika L. Sánchez tells the stories of her life thus far in Crying in the Bathroom. Sánchez grew up in Chicago, the daughter of immigrants. She knew from an early age that she wanted to be a writer. Some of her biggest obstacles are debilitating depression, as well as systemic sexism and racism.

I loved Sánchez's young adult novel, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, but this book was a harder sell for me; I am not a fan or memoirs written too early in the lives of people. But that could just be me.
