“Full of drama and gossip (because who doesn’t love chisme), this is a must-read for any chica in the process of finding her true self.” ―Cosmopolitan
"In Ana Castillo’s edgy new novel, no-holds barred Palma Piedras, ‘lone satellite orbiting in space,’ crash-lands on everybody’s heart. Palma’s escapades―erotic, sexy, comic and, by the end, devastating and poignant―illustrate how those who fling themselves onto love and desire are the same people who, at one time or another, must flee from it. An evocative page-turner." ―Rigoberto González
“Castillo delivers a story that is both tawdry and transcendent. The sense of contemporary rootlessness chafes against deeply rooted Mexican-American culture creating a raw friction unlike any other story out there.” ―Jewelle Gomez
