If you were raised Catholic, this book will bring back childhood memories of having to confess sins every week before Sunday mass. The main character, Caridad, is a teenage girl contending with the embarrassment of going to church with her grandmother, a bully at school, a less than supportive family, and the priest in the confessional. It’s lighthearted, not deep or depressing; It’s so well-written that you can understand her angst about being a teenager while being able to laugh at her situation(s) from the viewpoint of an adult. The ironic ending made me smile. I definitely want to read more by this author.
