this book was a good read, but there were some plot holes. i didn’t fall in love with nico as much as i expected to. he was still misogynistic somehow and to be honest, he really needs therapy. i also would’ve preferred if he groveled more because i didn’t think he groveled enough. on the other hand, i would’ve wanted to see more of elena’s family and her past— to dig deeper on why her father tried to sell her. i also wish i got to see more of adriana.
overall, it’s a great read, it just has some plot holes. if you want a book that will help you get out of a reading slump, i suggest to read this.

Nico makes an unnecessary rape joke. Oscar also falls into the stereotypical mold of Latino drug dealer with no development, in addition to being ‘the bad guy’ because he was a creep to Elena when 99% of the male cast are creeps in general—and much worse than him. I also did not like the way Lori described Oscar’s Colombian accent. Colombians have four different accents, but, regardless, the paisa accent in particular is actually one of the prettiest accents in Latin America (to me), so for Lori to describe his accent with such negative connotations is weird and unnecessary.thenerdwithglasses's review against another edition
