Because this is about to be so much more absurd and dramaticthan you think.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLuciana is the baby of her large Colombian American family. And despiteusually being relegated to the sidelines, she now finds herself as the only voice of reason in the middle of their unexpected crisis. Her older sister, Mari, isaway at college and reduced to a mere listening ear on the other end of their many phone calls, so when South Florida residents are ordered to evacuate before a hurricane, it's up to Luciana to deal with her eccentric grandmother, Abue, who's refusing to leave. But the storm isn't the only danger. Abue, normally glamorous and full of life, is given a crushing medical diagnosis. While she'd prefer to ignore it and focus on upholding her reputation and her looks instead, the news sets Abue on her own personal journey, with Luciana reluctantly along for the ride. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Luciana chronicles the events of her upended senior year over the phone to Mari, Abue moves into her granddaughter's bedroom and their complicated bond intensifies. Luciana would rather be skating or sneaking out to meet girls, but Abue's wild demands and unpredictable antics are a welcome distraction from Luciana's misguided mother, absent sister, and uncertain future. Forced to step into the role of caretaker, translator, and keeper of the devastating secrets that Abue begins to share, Luciana suddenly finds herself center stage, facing down adulthood--and rising to the occasion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStructured as a series of one-sided phone calls, \u003ci\u003eOye \u003c\/i\u003efeels like the most captivating conversation you've ever eavesdropped on: a rollicking, heartfelt, and utterly unique novel by an author as original as she is insightful.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelissa Mogollón\u003c\/b\u003e tiene una Maestría en Bellas Artes (MFA) en Ficción de la Iowa Writers' Workshop y una Licenciatura en Artes de la George Washington University.
