MARY WELCOMES
READER MAIL
» “Throughout,
Castillo integrates vibrant descriptions of Latina life into her
mainstream California setting without objectifying ethnic difference
or using it as a marketing tool — as if it were simply added "spice" to
the chick-lit staple diet. Her characters embody the bicultural
vibe of L.A., where Chicanas like Isa's friend Patty buy love potions
from botanicas but, in classic New Age fashion, also read auras.” – The
Statesman on In
Between Men.
» “I was
SO excited for this book to finally come out, especially after
enjoying Hot
Tamara so much. Mary has such a magic touch
when it comes to comedy and drama. Isa is so dang lovable,
you have to check out In
Between Men!” – Kathy Cano
Murrillo, author of The
Crafty Chica
» “Sad to
say but, if a book does not catch my interest within the first
40 or 50 pages....I usually don't ever finish it. When I read
this book it had me from cover to cover. It was funny, witty,
and down to earth.” – A reader’s review
of Friday Night Chicas on
Amazon.com
» “The other
day, I was in the library looking for some books for summer
reading, and your book, Hot
Tamara was one that caught my eye. I think
it was first the cover, and then I read the back part of the
book. I knew what Tamara was going through was something that
I could go through in my life very soon, so I picked it up
and read it. I have to tell you, I could not put the book down.” – A
college student in New York
» “I can't
tell you how much I LOVED this book. I related to Tamara in
so many ways and I wish I could find a guy like Will.” – A
reader in Colorado on Hot
