The Go-Between | Veronica Chambers
4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Fans of Jane the Virgin will find much to love about The Go-Between, a coming-of-age novel from bestselling author Veronica Chambers, who with humor and humanity explores issues of identity and belonging in a world that is ever-changing. She is the envy of every teenage girl in Mexico City. Her mother is a glamorous telenovela actress. Her father is the go-to voice-over talent for blockbuster films. Hers is a world of private planes, chauffeurs, paparazzi and gossip columnists. Meet Camilla del ValleCammi to those who know her best. When Cammis mom gets cast in an American television show and the family moves to LA, things change, and quickly. Her moms first role is playing a not-so-glamorous maid in a sitcom. Her dad tries to find work but dreams about returning to Mexico. And at the posh, private Polestar Academy, Cammis new friends assume shes a scholarship kid, the daughter of a domestic. At first Cammi thinks playing along with the stereotypes will be her way of teaching her new friends a lesson. But the more she lies, the more she wonders: Is she only fooling herself?

Cami is the daughter of an A-list actress in Mexico City who decides to try her luck in the US. At her new LA school, Cami is assumed to be a poor immigrant and runs with it to see what people really think. This is a bit too after school special and somewhat superficial, but it deals with important presumption carried by many and I frankly really enjoyed it.

Cami is the daughter of a famous actress, and lives a privileged life in Mexico. But she never knows who her true friends are.
Her mother decides to try Hollywood.
When Cami starts her new school, she sees no one knows anything about her.
But instead of focusing on Cami‘s new freedom, the author explores racism & the immigrant experience. This is worthy of examination. It‘s too bad we lose Cami‘s personal story to the social one.

About 5 years ago, I tried my first audiobook. And I LOVED it. It‘s now become about 25% of my reads each year. I get my audiobooks from Audible, Scribd, & the library.
Here are some my favorites from 2018, and my current Audible lifetime stats. The tagged book is what I‘m listening to right now.

So excited! I was looking for a new audiobook to listen to after the fabulous HEFT, but all the ones I'd like to read are on hold on Libby.

They just added these but apparently I was the first to see them on the app. Snatched them right up! Which to listen to first?! #audiobook #libby #tbr
