(4) YA Familia es todo is the Rodriguezes' mantra. For frustrated Sonia this means prioritizing cooking, cleaning, and serving over school and romance. The story, complete with a predatory "drunkle," violence, love at first sight, allusions to sex, and an eye-opening trip to Mexico, veers dangerously close to the telenovelas Sonia loathes, but her sharp commentary keeps it on track.
