This book is fast-paced, hilarious, inspiring, and heartwarming. While Julian’s relationship with Mat is a major focal point in the novel, so is his relationship with his friends and his family. I love it when romance includes a well-rounded support system rather than the protagonist relying solely on the love interest. Julian is an easy protagonist to love, I was rooting for him the entire novel.
This novel hit a lot of heavy topics, in particular, abusive parents. Graza Villa did a great job in his portrayal of the relationship a child/young adult has with an emotionally and physically abusive parent. I love that Julian was able to stand up for himself and that his facility members who were bystanders to the abuse took accountability and made an effort to change and provide a safe space for Julian.

Inoltre, essendo ambientata durante l'ultimo di un high school americana, parte delle esperienze narrate non riescono neanche a portare una mia nostalgia riguardo ad esse.
Cosa positiva è come la lingua spagnola sia integrata e mescolata a quella inglese in maniera organica, pretendo di mostrare un po' di più il background culturale del protagonista.
