I found the first half of the book hard to get into. The writing style was interesting but not over the top. The male characters were well developed and complex, but all the female characters were one dimensional idols. May be an intentional choice but I couldn’t warm to the characters or really root for them.

Incredibly engaging read. I was assigned this book in my high school AP Spanish class and could not put it down. This book was genuinely so incredible. My reading career was irrevocably changed by this book. Read jt ASAP!

It was very good. Author kept me entertained throughout the whole story. Interesting varied cast of characters. Multiple layers. Prose was enjoyable and it had a nice flow that made the book a pleasant read.
