The Meaning of Consuelo by Judith Ortiz Cofer
2.0
Actual Rating: 2.5
Although, this book wasn't my usual cup of tea it was very interesting. It gave an interesting perspective and narrative of the Puerto Rican culture from a girl who's desperate to become a woman in her family, but at the same time be someone more than what her family expects of her. The book is truly a coming of age story and it was interesting to see Consuelo's life progress in the timeline of the degradation of her sister's mind/family's life. Also, I love how sassy she got at the end. I still wish there was more though.. towards the end.
