About this ebook

Chris Perez tells the story of his relationship with music superstar Selena in this heartfelt tribute.

One of the most compelling and adored superstars in Latin music history, Selena was nothing short of a phenomenon who shared all of herself with her millions of devoted fans. Her tragic murder, at the young age of twenty-three, stripped the world of her talent and boundless potential, her tightly knit family of their beloved angel, and her husband, Chris Perez, of the greatest love he had ever known.

For over a decade, Chris held on to the only personal thing he had left from his late wife: the touching and sometimes painful memories of their very private bond. Now, for the first time, Chris opens up about their unbreakable friendship, forbidden relationship, and blossoming marriage, which were cut short by Selena’s unforgivable death.

Chris’s powerful story gives a rare glimpse into Selena’s sincerity and vulnerability when falling in love, strength and conviction when fighting for that love, and absolute resilience when finding peace and normalcy with her family’s acceptance of the only man she called her husband. While showcasing a side of Selena that has never been disclosed before and clarifying certain misconceptions about her life and death, To Selena, with Love is an everlasting love story that immortalizes the heart and soul of an extraordinary, unforgettable, and irreplaceable icon.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not done reading just yet, but after 4 hours of purchasing the book, I love it! I cannot stop reading it, every chapter got me intrigued onto what's to happen next. Their story really seemed of that of a soup-opera. Although I'm not family nor friend of Selena's family, I've cried for her loss for as long as I can remember. It's really sad her life got taken away at its full potential, and that she did not get to live all those dreams she had with her husband. But she sure made a great impact in this world with her great personality and how she was down to hearth even after the fame. Eventhough I was only 7 years old when she passed, I'm glad I got to know the story of such a lovely and true person. Selena you are ALWAYS missed. May your soul R.I.P and thank you Chris for sharing the story with the fans.

I would watch the movie 4 or 5 times a day . I had the soundtrack, extended version of the movie, every CD . She was my very first inspiration into loving music . I've never been a fan of reading books since high school but 2 days ago I finally bought it without questioning and started it right away . As I was reading the book I swear I felt like I was apart of their lives and when quoting conversations in my head I hear all of their voices. Such a great book . I cried and laughed so hard in parts . Much ❤

I absolutely adore the love that chris and selena shared and share still. Its beautiful how careful he explains selena to us(the readers). I love Selena and wish she could've had everything she planned for... It is still extremely sad to me that she is not here today. She would've been a huge star. Thank you chris for giving her fans more incite on the intimate details so we could feel selenas spirit again..... It was beautiful.
