Am I missing stuff by not looking up what the Spanish sentences mean? For the most part I think I know what they are saying, but there are several words I've never seen before?
I love learning about new cultures and this book is right up my alley so far. I had no insight into a Dominican American's life prior to reading this book. I'm only 30 pages in, but this should be a quick read.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
For the most part, I just tried to glean meaning from the context. But there were a couple of times I had to translate because it felt like what was said had more impact on the story than in other places.
