Reviews
Praise for Twice a Quinceañera "Méndez's debut adult novel is a love letter to people starting from scratch and an ode to those searching to find their one true love...An enchanting novel overflowing with self-love and second chances." -- Kirkus Reviews "YA author Méndez ( Furia ) makes her adult debut with a heartwarming romance centered on personal growth...It's a fun, empowering romp." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Yamile Saied Méndez: "This book will set your dreams on fire . . . It's fabulous." -- Reese Witherspoon on Furia "In this stirring novel by Argentine American author Méndez, passion for sports and personal growth intersect in Camila's powerful, feminist first-person narrative about her experiences as an ambitious athlete, a teenager deeply in love, the daughter of an abusive father at the point of taking charge of her own life, and a young woman finding her voice in a deeply sexist, patriarchal society . . . A riveting coming-of-age story." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW on Furia "Weaving rich cultural specifics and electric energy into her prose, Méndez crafts a dynamic, feminist narrative that commands attention from the very first line. At its core, this novel is a full-hearted love letter to Argentina and "incorrigible girls" everywhere, emboldening readers to stand up for themselves and chase the dreams they hold dear." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW on Furia "An engrossing #OwnVoices novel." -- PopSugar on Furia "[A] high-energy #OwnVoices novel . . . Written in a relatable first-person perspective." -- Booklist on Furia "In Furia , Saied Méndez captures both the breathless beauty of fútbol and the depth of its political power. Sports intersect with gender, class, race, and identities around the world, and there's still so much ground to be covered in telling the stories that live at these intersections. This novel is a thoughtful, vibrant addition. Camila shows readers that they can have it all, even if it's not exactly as they planned it. She insists girls have every right to dream, to want, to live, and it is a pleasure to watch this character do all three things with love and fury in equal measure." -- Chicago Review of Books on Furia "Fun, fast, and full of laughs, you've never seen the White House like this!" -- Ally Carter, New York Times bestselling author of the Gallagher Girls series on Shaking Up the House "A delightful story of pranks and misadventures, proving that friendships with rocky starts are often the best friendships of all." --Saadia Faruqi, author of A Place at the Table and the Yasmin series on Shaking Up the House "Laugh-out-loud funny and joyously optimistic, Shaking Up the House reminds us that even when things go utterly awry, good-intentioned and caring people can set them right again. Yamile Saied Méndez deftly juggles multiple viewpoints to weave together a timely tale of the power of tradition and friendship. And in these fraught times, the story of two first families coming together in respect and common purpose is a bromide for the soul." --David Bowles, award-winning author of They Call Me Güero and the 13th Street series on Shaking Up the House, Praise for Twice a Quinceañera "[A] ridiculously charming rom-com." -- Cosmopolitan " A fun and whimsical story." -- Hip Latina "Méndez's debut adult novel is a love letter to people starting from scratch and an ode to those searching to find their one true love...An enchanting novel overflowing with self-love and second chances." -- Kirkus Reviews "YA author Méndez ( Furia ) makes her adult debut with a heartwarming romance centered on personal growth...It's a fun, empowering romp." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Yamile Saied Méndez: "This book will set your dreams on fire . . .

- p***h (88)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAs described. Packaging was pretty atrocious which was just a plastic envelope with no backing or support. Ended up shoved in my mailbox. Thankfully I plan to just read this anyway and eventually toss it. Not collecting it. But likely won't use this seller again.
