'What makes [Imagine Breaking Everything] an unforgettable read is the combination of who Melissa is as a character and her voice. Not only is she the rare female protagonist who externalizes her rage, literally punching first so she won't become the punching bag, but as a first-person narrator she is brutally honest, funny, self-aware, and able to create moments of utter heartbreak and insight while staying true to the rawness of Bogota slang.'- Diana Andrade Melgarejo, Latin American Literature Today'The voice is electric, funny, furious — the kind of debut that announces a writer already in full stride.' - Leo Boix, The Morning Star'The new voice to know… Told with fierce honesty and dark humour, it’s a story of anger, forgiveness, and self-discovery. I read it in one sitting.’- Samantha Hass, Service95
