Hello readers!
Welcome to MODEL RICANS, your #1 source for salacious (and educational) reading about two best friends growing up in the swelling diaspora of Mickey Rico (Orlando) over a 30-year time period (1989-2019).
I started releasing new chapters every Saturday and Wednesday on May 13, 2023. If you can add comments for improving the story, I would most appreciate it -- that's the fun of this platform!
Much thanks to Mark Sarvas at UCLA for adding valuable comments regarding the timeline !
Last but not least:
This is a work of "autofiction" which is really just fiction, but that's one of the new hashtags out there so whatevs, just trying it. Unless otherwise indicated, all the names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents in this book are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental, but also shows how much the author truly loves her family and friends.
It's been really hard to express my love for all of you over the years because I've been so fragmented.
This is my attempt, I think, at writing something cohesive.
It shows the struggle in a way that is so honest, it scares the shit out of me.

Mil gracias!
