I haven't had time to write a proper review so all I'll say is this is better than Mexican Gothic, with a likeable male protagonist. He and the female main character didn't interact till the end, which is a letdown since that was promised but I enjoyed this story. Synopsis: Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman-and journeying deeper into Leonora's secret life of student radicals and dissidents. #velvetwasthenightnovel #velvetwasthenightsilviamorenogarcia #velvetwasthenightbook #velvetwasthenight #silviamorenogarcia #latinaauthor #latinaliterature #latinalit #latinabook #hispanicliterature #hispanicheritagemonth2022 #latinheritagemonth2022 #guyanesegrammer #guyaneseamericanebookstagrammer #mexicanliterature #mexicanlit #mexicanstory #mexicannoir #noir #historicalfiction #basedontrueevents #historicalfictionnoir #latinnoir #hispanicnoir #ereview #ebookstagrammer #ebook #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHtbckrJOF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande. 

“In this poignant memoir about her childhood in Mexico, Reyna Grande skillfully depicts another side of the immigrant experience—the hardships and heartbreaks of the children who are left behind. Through her brutally honest firsthand account of growing up in Mexico without her parents, Grande sheds light on the often overlooked consequence of immigration—the disintegration of a family.” —Sonia Nazario, Pulitzer Prize winner, and author of Enrique's Journey

Magical read for all ages (some parts are legit scary though). Coming of age, bruja sisters, Brooklyn life, and a sweet love story. The first book of an awesome series that you won’t want to put down! 🕷💀🏳️‍🌈❤️ @zoraidasolo #zoraidacordova #labyrinthlost #brooklynbrujas #lgbtqbooks #queerbooks #queerlit #queerya #lgbtqya #brujas #latinxlit #latinxliterature #latinxya #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #bookstagram #latinaliterature #latinabooks #latinalit #sisters #sisterbooks #sisterlit #latinx #lesbian #lesbians #lesbianbooks #lesbianlit #lesbianliterature #gaybook #gaybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMbHc5ly-j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ibmtuhlvm8af
