Loveable characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
A chicano classic, at first I was a little hesitant, but I found these stories worked best when you take your time with them. I read each alone then would refer back to the introduction which has analysis of each story. Viramontes uses roaming POVs and leaves a lot unsaid in these stories, but I think after you find your footing it makes them incredible unique, impactful, and unforgettable
