Reviews
"[ Ordinary Girls ] belongs on your must-read lists. Díaz is a masterful writer . . . Writing with refreshing honesty, she talks about despair, depression, love, and hope with such vibrancy that her vivid portrayal will stay with you long after the final page." -- O: The Oprah Magazine "Every once in a while, a truly electric debut memoir comes along, and this fall, Ordinary Girls is it. It's the story of an ordinary girl; it's the story of all of the extraordinary girls. Díaz is a skilled writer; the depth of layering is strong, from the details to the larger structures of identity, white supremacy, colonialism, and brown, queer, and femme resilience and resistance." -- BuzzFeed "Díaz does not flinch with the hard-hitting details of growing up in communities that deserve our wholehearted attention. She complicates how we imagine girlhood and offers a beautiful memoir written with so much love, compassion and intelligence. This book is a necessary read at a time where the system and the media is so often working against the survival of women of color. This book burns in the memory and makes one feel all the feelings. A triumph!" -- Bustle (Angie Cruz, author of Dominicana ) "A dynamic examination of the power of persistence." -- Time (Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2019) "Outstanding. A powerful and lyrical coming-of-age story, Ordinary Girls is a candid illustration of shame, despair and violence as well as joy and triumph. Against a Puerto Rican backdrop, this debut is compassionate, brave and forgiving." -- Ms. Magazine "At once heartbreaking and throbbing with life in a rich portrait that's anything but ordinary." -- Good Housekeeping (The 50 Best Books of 2019 to Add to Your Reading List) "There's a certain ferocity throughout the entirety of Ordinary Girls . For some of the book, it's humming like a hardworking engine--concealed under the hood, always present--but then there are moments when it combusts, bursting from the page in such a way that you, as a reader, have to pause and take a breath. Ordinary Girls is an electrifying, deftly-paced debut." -- Salon "Diaz's resilience and writing abilities are far from ordinary; she's an emissary from an experience that many young women have. Listen." --Refinery29 "A whirlwind memoir. Like Maya Angalou's seminal 1969 memoir I know Why the Caged Bird Sings before it, Ordinary Girls , is brutally honest in a way that few books dare to be." -- Bitch "Striking. Díaz's story is absolutely breathtaking." --NBC Latino "A fierce, unflinching account of ordinary girls leading extraordinary lives." -- Poets & Writers "Every so often you discover a voice that just floors you--or rather, feels like it can bulldoze something in your very soul. This fall, that voice belongs to Jaquira Díaz." -- The Week (25 Books to Read in the Second Half of 2019) "In her debut memoir, Jaquira Díaz mines her experiences growing up in Puerto Rico and Miami, grappling with traumas both personal and international, and over time converts them into something approaching hope and self-assurance. For years, Díaz has dazzled in shorter formats--stories, essays, etc.--and her entrée into longer lengths is very welcome." -- The Millions
Synopsis
One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping "There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime." --Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira D az writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, D az found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn't find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico's history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. D az writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover's Educated , Kiese Laymon's Heavy , Mary Karr's The Liars' Club , and Terese Marie Mailhot's Heart Berries , Jaquira D az's memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history--and reads as electrically as a novel., One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping "There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime." --Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age.
