this book had potential but somewhere between the third act

where mario k*lls brian

and the climax where

mario confronts juanca and ends up dead

, the book went in a direction I don't believe was bulit up thematically.

I gotta collect my thoughts and also watch a whole season of New Girl to counteract these vibes
