I realized that no matter how much I wanted the past to remain intact, what was would never be again. We all got older. We all moved on. And maybe things were supposed to change... Funny, intelligent,... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Just Plain AWESOME!

This is the first book I've read from cover to cover since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Before Free Style I only read cancer books. This book is touching, funny and such a fun easy read that I had no choice but to breeze through it in a few days. (quite a feat for someone who still has chemobrain and a short attention span!) You know you're reading a good, no not good, GREAT book when you can identify with married mothers even when you're not one your self! I am officially a fan of Linda, and cannot wait until she writes her next great novel!

It's about time!

It's about time for a book about intelligent, real Latina women living their everyday lives. This book is so funny and nostalgic it will make you say, "Remember that?!" It's also honest and raw in the issues it raises, so you really connect with the characters, especially the main character, Idalis, because of this fresh honesty; you really feel like you've known her forever. As an avid reader I need to read different kinds of books in order to fill my creative and emotional well. Finally, Linda Nieves-Powell delivers something that's been missing in books: a fun, sassy, serious, and strong nostalgic story that satisfies my Latina soul. Keep it up. You've got a big fan here!

Praises for Linda Nieves-Powell & Free Style!!!

Free Style is AMAZING!!! You Will laugh and cry simultaneously while following Idalis and Selenis' journey to self dsicovery! Great Job!!!
