15 is a Magic Number

I never had a quinceañera or a sweet 16 for that matter but the book Fifteen Candles by Adriana Lopez contains fifteen stories that any Latina in her late 20′s to late 30′s can relate to. Subtitled 15 Tales of Taffeta, Hairspray, Drunk Uncles, and other Quinceanera Stories , the tales contain numerous pop culture references (many from the 80′s) that had me giggling. The anthology is divided into five sections with three stories each featuring some of the best Latino writers out there. My favorite story has to be Love Rehearsals by Angie Cruz because it reminded me so much of when I was a dama in a friend’s court.
