Image showing the cover of The Other Lives of Altagracia Sanchez by Felicia Martinez alongside two quotes from the novelette. The first quote: “You are yourself. And you are yours. Even if they can’t see you. Even if they look at you and see their own fears instead. Do you hear me? This song? It’s all been for you. One of us. And you are never alone.” The second quote: “life is a garden of many forking paths, a place both cultivated and very wild. Each trail, each promenade, each winding footpath, comes with its own pivot points of possibility, forking here, dividing there. One life, from one perspective. Other lives nonetheless.”

Image showing the description of The Other Lives of Altagracia Sanchez by Felicia Martinez. This is a story of many voices, many lives, and all of them are hers. In one life, Altagracia Sanchez is just another teenager longing to go to college. In another, she is an adult with a thriving architecture career. In all lives, she hears voices, sees visions, and can't stop washing her hands. What kind of future can she possibly hope for? From the music-filled rooms of her childhood home in New Mexico, to the cold realities of college-life for someone not quite like everyone else, Altagracia's story is a time-bending family drama full of so much possibility. The lives that come to Altagracia slide in and out of memory, out of time. Where did the demon come from? And who is her doppelgänger? Oh, and Benny. No one else seems to know he's there. With so many intertwining moments all around her, so many voices, can you blame her for learning to mask herself, for seeking solitude? But why won't she answer the phone? As the everyday mingles with the extraordinary, Altagracia finds a life beyond what anyone could have hoped for her. And then one or two more. What does it matter if some of them are ones only she can see?

10 | 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review 💜 I can’t begin to fit it into the character limit so I’m begging you to read the full review elsewhere. @feliciafm.bsky.social #booksky #latinxbooks #latinobooks #bookrec #netgalley

Picture of 3 books on a brown table with valentines decorations behind them. Top to bottom: everyone I kissed since you got famous, love at first set, the mambo kings play songs of love.

Went to a book fair yesterday at a local brewery. It was hosted by one of my favorite indie bookstores, which is run/owned by a queer couple.
Of course I got queer books and a book centered around Cuban Americans.
Support local business yall!
