review 1: Thanks to her honest and candid approach as well as her refreshingly witty and humorous personality which shines through on every page, I absolutely LOVED the time I got to spend with Rosie during my reading of her story. And I word it that way because that's exactly how it felt, as though she was right there next to me, telling me her story just like any good girlfriend would, holding nothing back including her anger, her fears, and her hopes-along with good gossip tid bits on such names as the Wayans brothers, Woody Harrelson, P. Diddy, LL Cool J, and the so-called "feud" with Jennifer Lopez--Ha! Highly recommended.
review 2: What can I say? READ THIS BOOK! What a poignant, witty, funny and tearful read. Being a fan of Rosie Perez - her effervescent talen
... moret, sparking wit and incredible candor (not to mention her adorable speaking voice) - I appreciate her incredible fortitude, surviving a childhood that could have left her too broken to find her inner voice and am amazed she was able to survive and thrive in a world that often chooses to look the other way when it comes to human suffering.Taking this journey with Rosie, I felt love and affection for her wonderful tia, I laughed along with the antics of her Papi and I wept over Lydia. Most of all, I finished this book wanting to hug Rosie for having the strength to share this very personal story. I dare you to read this book and not be touched in some small way or maybe feel transformed. less
