I absolutely loved this book for the following reasons: 1) Contemporary, fresh and emotionally engaging; 2) I love Nieves-Powells' Puerto Rican woman twist on the classic Thelma and Louise; 3) Nieves-Powell's "beats" in the novel and witty, laugh out loud dialogue kept me happy for days. Finally, her story is very well developed -- touching on some rather universal themes, while keeping it real. (The power of women coming together, career vs. motherhood tug -- that does not tug at the usual "whiny" dialogue we hear from women not accustomed to seeing how indeed you can reconcile or HAVE to reconcile both because of economic circumstances, and the old matter of families, mothers and husbands. ) I hope this Puerto Rican sister is working on her next book!...less
