The first few pages are choppy and the character does not come across as believable or likeable. The author spends too much time telling the story and not enough time letting it tell itself. But keep reading.
After the first chapter or so, things pick up nicely, and we actually get to know and like the character. We see her as one person with her family, another with the men in her life, a different girl with her friends, and someone else entirely when she is at work. As the little dramas in her life unfold she finds the barriers she put up around the different parts of her life come tumbling down.
About half way through the book, Marcela really fleshes out. We discover she is human and does things that make us laugh or roll our eyes. She makes good choices and bad ones, and really works hard trying to figure herself out. Her romantic antics are anything but boring (sometimes even becoming scary), and between her family, a trip to Mexico and mentoring a juvenile delinquent, she manages to keep the story exciting to the end of the book. She has a family and friends that are well developed and complex as well, and there are several smaller plot-lines revolving around the people surrounding her that are great as well.
Some parts could have been left off as they were 'too descriptive'
