Selena's dad was an abusive douche

The book is called, "To Selena, With Love." It came out earlier this year. I ordered it on Amazon and finished the whole book within a few days because I was so caught up in it. Chris is not a brilliant writer- Just a regular guy taking a candid look back on his life with his first love and speaking openly about the fact that he's never stopped loving her. The final line of the book is, "Selena, I'm still dreaming of you." It was so heartbreaking.....Toward the end, when he started talking about Selena's funeral and the grief he went through after her death, I had to put the book down and come back to it a few minutes later. I was bawling my eyes out! It still hurts to think how many people close to Selena were devastated by her murder. Alot of fans, myself included, judged Chris for moving on so quickly after she died but when you consider how much the second wife looked like Selena (the resemblance is striking) and the way he writes with such adoration about Selena even after 17 years, it's clear the poor guy was grief stricken and trying to replace her in some way. I wish I could say the book was uplifting at the end and I feel he tried to end it on that kind of note, but I was left feeling that he is still a very broken, sad person even after all these years.

Either way, it was a very tasteful, loving tribute to Selena and their life together. A must read for fans of hers and for anyone who ever doubted how much he loved her. Really touched my heart.....

I said the same thing you did with regard to his kids- I bet the Quintanillas see those kids as if they could have been their grandchildren. I think it says so much about Chris's character that Selena's family have remained so close to him, too.

So the Quintanilla's kept in touch with Chris even while he was remarried, and have also met his kids? Sorry, but I just think that would have to be awkward!
