Time has recognized it as one of the best YA novels of all time. It is now being made into a film directed by America Ferrera. Most recently, Sánchez published a critically acclaimed memoir-in-essays titled Crying in the Bathroom, which won the Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction award and has been optioned for television.
