This was written with teenagers in mind to access easily with the language used (felt very Gen Z) But the story was well done (I could have down without the Spanglish- either commit to the Spanish fully or not) The insta love is a trope I’ve seen time and time again - while I feel like HS books / characters experience it more often, it just felt a smidge cringe. Minus that, this is an emotionally charged book at times especially when you encounter the homophobic father & his abuse (verbal and physical towards Jules)

despite a few tropes that i found kind of trite and way too many pop culture references that will be near indecipherable in a few years (if not already), there is a good, inspiring story and some good writing here
