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.

😭. Amazing

Love it. It made me cryy and such a great story

Ronlovepeace1!

Heartfelt and thoughtful memoirs of a life with a superstar!. I cried many times throughout reading this book. Chris Perez is so heartfelt and genuine you can feel his emotions stream through as he describes intimate moments with his wife and legendary superstar Selena. I’m so glad I bought this book as I was hesitant and didn’t think I could learn anything new about the beloved Selena. Chris shared thoughtful moments and provided insights into his marriage like I’ve never heard before. I was captivated from beginning to end and read the entire book in about three days but, it only took that long because I had to keep up my normal daily routine. You know those pesky habits like work and cleaning. Thank you Chris Perez for such an amazing book!

Tatiiannaa

The best!!. Not sure how many times I dropped a year .. that is real love ! Best book possible!!

Its_la_vida

Thank you Chris Perez for this work of art!!. I truly love how in depth this novel goes. It shows views from all sides. Getting just a little glimpse of what the “Queen of Cumbia” was like. You will definitely feel all the different wave of emotions in this book. Definitely worth reading!!

Stacy Flowers

Different perspective. I learned a lot of new information from Chris’s perspective. It was so refreshing to get to know the side of Selena that is relatable. A wife who had mood swings, big dreams, and wanting to expand her family. Glad I got to read it.

I grew up on Selena. I am absolutely astonished by how great this book was, I am so thankful to get to see a more personal side from the man who was not blood but absolutely loved Selena and got to get to know her so well and it was very clear from her music just how much she loved him as well. My heart is with all of Selena’s loved ones.

We love you selena

Beatriz in Nashville

Beautifully written, intimate and a great read. This was a beautifully written, intimate and very genuine sounding account of their romance, the challenges they encountered, the principles which grounded their relationship, their tremendous work ethic and questions remaining of what might have been and regrets over warning signs missed when things went wrong; yet it’s done from a place of gratitude, growth, reflection and real love. I highly recommend this book. Chris did a great job.

Upset dasher

Anything for Selenas !. Good god where do I even start! Started this book two hours ago and just finished it. Beautifully written and well put together. Can’t rave enough about this book, read it you won’t regret it! Chris, Selena is so proud of you!

EddieV1990

They had so much love for each other. I really enjoyed reading this book and hearing chris tell us his amazing love story he had with Selena. I especially like how he admired her for who she was offstage witch was a caring, loving and down to earth person who came from humble beginnings. She was also a goof ball full of life and adventure. I admire Chris for sharing his story with us now I know the rough road he went through grieving for his wife.

Sofia_Rivera

Beautiful Beautiful!. This book is amazing !!!!!! Omg there was so many details i didn’t even knew that had happened. This is a beautiful book, made me cry towards the end. This is a true love. It’s like i was behind the scenes in a way or like different point of view from the movie and the show.

Xmdalx

Good. The book is good. I guess I just got bored. Maybe because it reminded me so much of the movie. I was hoping to learn something new and there weren’t a lot of new details from what I already knew. However the love he had for Selena was beautiful and he portrayed it in his book.

Desthegemini

Amazing. I loved reading this so much! The show on Netflix was definitely inspired by Chris’s book. Thank you so much Chris for being so vulnerable and writing this for not just yourself but for Selena and her fans, your fans as well. We love you Selena forever. May her spirit live on through her amazing music and fans.

Dndhhhss s

Definitely tugged at the heart strings. Thank you Chris for sharing your life with Selena in this book! Even though you were an extremely important part of Selena’s life, there was never much portraying your life with Selena and I loved reading about this special love story, your hopes and dreams for the future together, your private lives, I was surprised about Selena’s love for all things on wheels-something I also have a love for! Just a normal person like the rest of us! I will be reading this again for sure!

Lilith 29

Amazing. Thank you Chris Perez for writing this book! I hadn’t know much about what she was like as a wife or a normal humble person. This world wasn’t ready for her at all

Isnwjjwbd

THE BEST BOOK!. I cried, laughed and felt the love he felt. Such a beautiful way he described every single detail him and Selena had even the smallest detail was the most important and im glad he included them in the book. Thank you Chris for writing this book!

To Selena, With love. This book made me laugh, smile and cry. After so many years Selena still makes an impact on each and every generation. I was born in 04 but even then Selena is my favorite girl to do it. I learned of her through my people. What Chris and Selena had is so beautiful. Selena is an inspiration. Thank you Chris for this amazing book.

Feather.danse

I’m not crying, you’re crying.. This book is the definition of bittersweet. I was actually very excited to learn that Chris wrote a book about my favourite artist, (having grown up on her movie, dancing to her songs), he did not disappoint at alll! 10 out of 10!

Verog12345

The best book I ever read. This book made me cry , I have no words but to say Chris is strong and the book is amazing !

Malibubaby8

So beautiful. It’s like the movies about Selena were put into perspective. I loved this one on one book from Chris. It showed how much and what happened with Selena. So much raw words. So beautiful. I cried the whole last chapter.

Jauner89

Beautiful. Such a beautiful retelling of an amazing and tragic love story. My heart goes out to Chris.

Biabillie

A beautiful dedication to a true love. This book gave me a better understanding of who Selena was- a human being who loved hard, worked hard, and played hard. It takes tremendous courage to release this story, making a very private relationship accessible to people who wanted to know more. I grew up in the 90s and never had a chance to really hear Selena’s music or hear her story. This makes my heart feel so full. My condolences to Chris and his family and to Selena’s family and friends.

Anavel1

Wow. Beautiful, emotional. I loved reading his side of the story.

❤️Rachel ❤️. I loved it..I wish they could of let Chris do the series too it would have been awesome!!❤️sounds better than what the series showed honestly the 1st series was ok cause of course I wanted to know how they started and things they went through but honestly the rest of the series was about Selena and Chris and they should have let him help do it

Sandy Kay J

Selena. It’s nice to hear a true side from the person closest to her. To read something from someone that you know she truly loved. Nice to feel the confirmation that she was the person you feel she was. Loved it!

For Selena With Love From Hawaii. Thank you Chris for sharing your story with the world. I can’t remember exactly when I first heard Selena’s music but I can tell you this…That powerful voice and raw emotion was something that left a lasting imprint till this day all the way over here on an island across the Pacific Ocean. When I began to discover more about Selena through the various articles, videos or stories that I read or saw what really touched me was that she was “Real.” She seemed like a down to earth soul. Bigger than life but humble to the core. I love listening to music in many different genres but very rarely do I ever feel a sense of connection to any artist or group like I do when I listen to her songs. Communication on that level is deep. That’s why Selena’s star will continue to shine. I am jealous of you brother. You had an opportunity to share your life with an Angel. I can only hope that I will be so fortunate. Best wishes to you and your family. Aloha from Hawaii…. Chason

Monte-lin

Amazing book. An incredible read that I would recommend to anyone! Be prepared with tissues.

Koadbika

Beautiful. This is the most beautiful book I have ever read. I am glad to have read how much of a person Selena was when she wasn’t on stage, loving her life with her husband and family.

Reader1234!

Wow! Just beautiful!. I am a big fan of Selena even if I don’t know how to speak Spanish or even understand it but I love it. Chris did a wonderful thing with this book, putting his heart out into and giving us his POV of the person he truly loved/love to death. Selena is in a better place and I hope she is proud of Chris as we are. This was a good read and I really enjoyed it so much. After watching the series on Netflix I said let me read this book because everybody on twitter was talking about it. So thank you twitter and Chris for giving me a new book to read.

Elsa_helen_

Incredible Loving Book. I could not put it down. So heartfelt, sincere and loving. Thank you for sharing your wonderful love story with us.

Amazing.... Truly beautiful...

SamiB25

Great. Great book

Tamjncl

A very genuine and it feel like a love letter to his only love.. Chris Perez made this book like a love letter to Selena. It’s sad that her story is a Shakespearean tragedy. Despite losing his only true love, his resilience made him overcome it. He was able to do what he dreamed of doing rock music. I respect that his didn’t trash her family. That shows class.

Kyla1515

Love This Book. Christ did an amazing job wringing this book from the language to the stories! I love how I feel like I knew Selena from just reading about her and how Chris wrote about her! I recommend you read this book! 100/100 ✨

Monliege

beautiful. chris wrote this book in a way that made me feel like i was there with him. i felt all the emotions he felt and i was falling in love with her too. reading this gave me so much insight into the type of person she was. i wish i was alive during her time to witness the type of impact she had on the world. i dreaded the last few chapters, especially when yolanda was first introduced. still, he wrote her as a background character. this was selena’s story and he made sure to write it as such. this was a beautiful, heartbreaking, funny story and i’m glad i read it.

SAH2021

Charming. This book is amazing. It was filled with so much love & Chris did a wonderful job helping us to not only understand the person Selena was off stage, but the person he is. An undeniable love between those two.

Itmelol

So Beautiful. After the movie and the series, this showed Selena as a human, not a daughter, not a superstar, not a celebrity. It was refreshing to read about her flaws, her pet peeves, and everything else that made her human. I hate reading but I finished this book only in a couple of days, it’s amazing.

Evelyn ES

I love this title. This book is a great book. To write about his soulmate like this takes courage and I respect him for that. This book will forever be one of my favorites. Thank you for this Chris.

Beautiful book. This was a beautiful book. I’m so glad I finally bought it after wanting it for so long. It was nice to read Chris’s point of view of his time spent with Selena. So beautifully written, I could feel the emotion and the love with each page. I can’t imagine how hard this must’ve been but at the same time I hope this was somehow therapeutic for Chris. Definitely a great read and recommend anyone to grab this book and read it.

Amazing. Amazing book to read, I like it imaginar la relación se Selena and Chris 🥺

MeehMicropoly

Love it so much.. I knew of Selena after I watched the movie released and I was 6yrs old. I remembered getting of the school bus and running home and my mom and aunties would have the cassette in ready and they’d turned the volume up when the songs play and I Just started dancing from the door to the living room. I am now 30 & still watch and listen to her. Now my kids are hoping om and singing but don’t understand it like me. Chris Perez, Thank you for releasing this book. Looking forward to receiving mail for your hot sauce :)

IMMarotti

Amazing. This honestly wrapped up everything, I wish the family would’ve allowed Chris to be more involved in the series. This wrapped up everything from his prospective. Adding this would’ve made her story more realistic and relatable. This book just made me love her more as fan.

Annie3loves

About Author "Chris Perez"
