so after discovering weetzie bat and loving it, i decided to read one book from this series a month until i have read everything. this month it was witch baby.
witch baby, if you remember from the first book, was the baby left on the doorstep after secret agent lover man came back after losing it when weetzie got pregnant from dirk or duck. and witch baby is all about her.
witch baby might have suffer from depression. witch baby was unhappy with life, she felt like she didn't belong to the family or anywhere in that case. she was drawn to new stories of decay and destruction and more of an observer of life than a participant. she had her heart broken twice and pissed off all of the family.
however, when she discovered that secret agent lover man was her father, she was happy but it didn't last long and she went to look for her mother. her mother was the witch doctor from the first book and a member of a jayne mansfield fan club, odd but cool. one night after being away, she heard weetzie wishing for her and decided to return home. once she returned, everyone confessed how much they love and appreciate her and she finally felt apart of the family.
though enjoyable this book was not as amazing as the first one. i was actually a little disappointed. i was also confused as to witch baby's age during this book. sometimes she seemed like a teenager and other times a baby.
i did love that frida kahlo got a shout out! so much so that i instagramed it. the passage also mentioned sugar skulls and embroidered dress and grandma bea's favorite tortillas and butter. it was from when witch baby fell in love with angel juan:
i look forward to continue my reading of francesca lia block's series but hope that it gets better.
