Money explained well for the Latin community
Reviewed: 10-27-24
I throughly enjoyed the book and I think others will too. Even though money is often times an uncomfortable subject, GiGi manages to speak on the matter with ease and relatability. Especially for the Latin community. I found myself smiling a lot throughout the book because this felt like it was genuine advice from a big sister. If you are looking to learn more about money, I highly recommend this book. Gigi put a lot of things into perspective and gave language to the Latin experience as it relates to money.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 539
Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn’t matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year’s Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights.

Thankful for Dominican writers like Angie Cruz for writing on the immigrant experience. For the vivid descriptions, the rich character development, as a Dominican I literally felt like I was watching the story unfold! Must read.
