PRAISE FOR
BIG CHICAS DON’T CRY
“A beautiful novel expertly weaving universal appeal with rich
nuances of Mexican culture in a way that has me identifying with the
characters, rooting for, laughing & crying along with them & wishing I
had seat at their tamalada table! Romantic women’s fiction at its finest!”
—-Priscilla Oliveras, USA Today bestselling
author of West Side Love Story
“Big Chicas Don’t Cry is a life-affirming novel
centered on relationships, love, and loss. This heartwarming family drama uses
alternating points of view to skillfully reveal nuanced characters, tangible
emotions, and the enduring ties of a Mexican American family. I adored every
minute I spent with this familia. It was as if Chavez Macias took slivers of
the people and experiences I’ve known and delicately etched them onto the page.
An enduring family drama with heart, beauty, and vibrant culture."
—Diana Muñoz Stewart, bestselling author of the Black Ops
Confidential Series
“Poignant and real. Chavez Macias spins a beautiful tale of
love, identity and family that feels like a warm and nourishing home-cooked
meal.”
– Mia Hopkins, author of Thirsty
“Reading Big Chicas Don't Cry is like being enveloped in the
warm embrace of family, holidays, fiestas, and love.”
--Jennifer Bardsley, author of Sweet Bliss
“The bond between cousins was beautifully written, including
the blurry lines of family dynamics, its misconceptions, miscommunications,
white and not so white lies that we tell to spare feelings that later come back
to haunt us. What we keep to ourselves and what we share, and what comes to
light no matter how hard you try to hide it from your familia. If you read L.A. Weather and loved the relationship amongst the
Alvarado sisters, then this book is definitely for you.”
