Pop Romance

Rebecca experiences privilege and oppression through being a Latina woman, and she comes from a very conservative family. She is privileged through being financially stable and having a good job where she doesn't experience sexism, and she also marries Andrew after she divorced. Throughout the book she struggles with the pressures of being expected to be married and tolerate a bad relationship, along with struggling to be honest about her emotions. With Rebecca, love did conquer all, and she was able to overcome the conservative way she was raised. I don't think this was realistic, but it's still something that could be possible. I enjoyed the character development as Rebecca learned to live how she wanted to instead of holding herself to rules that made her miserable, like her mother.
