Praise for In Between Men: » “In 2005, Mary Castillo warmed our hearts with her debut novel Hot Tamara. This year, she does it again, in true, fast-paced and fun Mary Castillo style with In Between Men (Harper Collins, 2006). According to book club member, Juanita Johnson, the romantic chick lit novel brings readers a truly loveable, but confused, protagonist, Isa, who appropriately finds love after a bump to the head. The believable and fun dialogue between the characters, clearly one of Mary’s best strengths as an author, makes this romantic tale of girl meets boy an enchanting read.” -- Catalina Magazine (posted 5.08.07) » In Between Men “is a feel good all over story. It not only touches your funny bone, the characters capture your heart immediately and stay with you long after the last page. This is the first book of Ms. Castillo's I have read but it won't be the last.” -- Romance Junkies » “Throughout, Castillo integrates vibrant descriptions of Latina life into her mainstream California setting without objectifying ethnic difference or using it as a marketing tool — as if it were simply added "spice" to the chick-lit staple diet. Her characters embody the bicultural vibe of L.A., where Chicanas like Isa's friend Patty buy love potions from botanicas but, in classic New Age fashion, also read auras.” -- American Statesman » In Between Men “is laugh-out-loud funny but still throws hits of heartbreak that will make the strongest woman gush.” -- Romantic Times BOOKclub Read the excerpt of In Between Men at www.marycastillo.com!
