Summary

In the last book in the Josefina canon, we find that it is not just comedies that end in weddings--sometimes tragedies do too. To bring the Montoyas' story to a close, author Valerie Tripp arranges a marriage between Papa and Tia Dolores, who will now take on the mantle of stepmother. While this book finds Josefina pondering the future of her family, Mary and Allison use this opportunity to consider the overall arc of the series and what it conveys about nationalism. The hosts also consider a new line of empowerment Barbies, some important news coverage, and an Ashanti sighting.

0:12.2	because when I say that word and I have tried
0:14.4	it makes me want to throw up in my mouth. It's not a proper thing for us to say
0:18.8	over the air. We can't. We can't. I mean there's not a lot of regulation in

0:26.0	song called Cornelius Street and I was listening to it on my way home from
0:29.1	work tonight and I came home and was looking at the lyrics which is sort of a mistake, but the lyrics did make me think about our journey with Josefina.
0:37.0	The lyrics are, I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends, I'll never walk Cornelia Street again. That's the kind of
0:44.2	heartbreak time could never mend. I'll never walk Cornelia Street again.
0:48.4	Now for me it's like you know if Taylor will give me some liberty on this I I hope I lose you. I'm very glad this ends. I will never
