“This morning is different. The way Dee’s laugh swirls upward into a high-pitched sort of scream before it wanders into her bellow.”
“Alejandra’s hair is silky and black, spilling from the bun on top of her head. Her skin is oily, slick with the sweat of the kitchen she has spent the past twenty minutes in.”

It took me a while to warm to the narrator, I found her annoying for the first two chapters. Then I loved her, I've never missed a character so much when a book has ended, an original voice.
The ending was too abrupt and open for me. I didn't like Ale, she was a weak friend and always got a free pass for abandoning Kiara.
Between the dark parts of the book there's a lot of humour, it feels balanced.
If there was more to Kiara's story I would read it in a heartbeat.
