When she returns it to Rene, she feels curiously drawn to him. But Marisa and Rene aren't exactly a match made in heaven. For one thing, Marisa is a <i>chola</i>; she's a lot of girl, and she's not ashamed of it. Skinny Rene gangles like a sackful of elbows and wears a calculator on his belt. In other words, he's a geek. So why can't Marisa stay away from him?<b> <i>Includes a glossary of Spanish words and phrases.</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The tough-girl/good-guy romance is a refreshing twist, and Marisa and Rene are unique and long-overdue characters.--<i>The Bulletin</i><br>With humor and insight, [Soto] creates memorable, likable characters.--<i>Booklist</i><br>
