GREAT story

I am honestly so glad that I've stumbled upon this story. I've been yearning to read a decent fic about a Latina in Tulsa. And boy howdy, is your writing way beyond decent! You have such a way with words. Your words paint pictures that I can clearly image. I love the way you have depicted Marieta's family. How Mary's mother is so compliant and eager to please when it comes to white folk, but a complete dragon when it comes to her kids. The way Cami gets all these advantages just because she's light skinned, that because Mary isn't the typical Western/European beauty she has to deal with racism in life and, what I see as, colorism at home. I feel all of this on a deep level. I'm so excited to hear that you've decided to pick this back up again, even though I just started reading haha Please keep up the great work!

Well so much of this was very intriguing. The encounter between Mary and Russell, and then Russell and the boys. Steve seems to have found trouble with a guy who doesn't play games. If he's just going to grab a girl and burn her with a cigarette-he's not one to mess around with. It made me sad she went through and Steve's blaming her for not being at the front and that they both kind of laughed her off at the end of that scene. This poor girl is so disrespected.
But, the BEST part of your whole wonderful chapter was the end. "I ain't nice." Blew me away.

This is so good. I'm so curious as to where you are going to take this story. Can't wait for another update!

Cami is a bitch to do that.

THIS IS SO GOOD I JUST FOUND JT AND ITS SO GOOD I LOVE IT AND I LIKE THAT YOURE NOT MAKING CAMI A GOOD GIRL, LET HER BREAK HIS HEART BC IRONY

I'm so happy you came back to this! I just love the way you write. Loved Mary thinking of the ways she'll beat up Cami at home! Poor Mary. I feel for her as she watches her sister just take away her crush. Seems she's used to this kind of thing. And that Clint. He gives me the creeps. I'm getting worried.
So glad you'll be posting regularly. I'll be here to review- on both of your stories :)

I found this because of your recent story. Just want you to know how impressed I am with you. I'm going to try and describe it but I know I'll fail. Your writing is fantastic. But underneath your writing...that's where you differ. There's so much underneath the surface. . That difference is what is drawing me in. Here, as well as your other story. I don't know what you're going to say next. And there's a sense of darkness? No. Not that. Unrest maybe? There's just this electrical current running through that's whispering to me "things are far from right". I apologize for this awkward review! Just wanted to applaud you for not being a dime a dozen. I'm sorry this story has stopped but I'm so glad you started the other and I hope I'll be seeing more from you:)

I put this in my favorite alerts because I can't wait to read more! Please update soon!

I'm ecstatic you've updated. I kind of had forgotten about this story but when I saw it was this one. I suddenly grew happy. You have Mary's narrative so interesting and sharp. I'm just hoping this story won't turn into a cliche Sodapop romance. Not that I mind if they get together. It's just how. But I think you have this story on the right track. Just update sooner plz.

I really enjoyed this! I hope you decide to continue it!

ok my interests are peaked want to see where this is going PLEASE update soon

Nice! I really like where this story's going. I beg you to update soon, I was real disappointed to find there wasn't another chapter considering you haven't updated. Please please please update. Unique plot and I like how you have Steve and Sodapop acting . Great job!

Just gonna say: yes! Worth pursing!
Its already got an interesting start, with the main character being from Nicaragua, and the difference between her and her sister. I really like the characterization so far :)
Esp like how when Mary meets Soda and Steve, its more realistic. Steves not super interested in being polite, and Soda's polite but he doesnt act like an eager puppy like so many other fanfics write him as. Im really excited to see where this goes!
Its also great to read some of your lines that say a lot about what it was like for them to immigrate to America, with that sentence about the mother still calling white folks formally in fear of offending and being deported. That says a lot about class and racial tension.
I hope you continue this story! :) Really great firsr chapter.
