For deadnaming, the author is never explicit by never telling the reader what anyone’s deadname is. Also, there are some topics brought up in regards to leaving home or being kicked out of a house because of abuse or transphobia or homophobia (it is touched upon, but not too explicit—though the physical abuse mention is more explicit, but not more than a couple mentions and some hinting).librarianbritt's review against another edition

While I did figure out what the ending was about half way through reading the character development kept me reading until the very last page! This is a case where I loved every minute with these characters are they made their way through the story! Great debut!

I absolutely adored this book and all of the characters in it! It took me a minute, but I really found myself falling into the character relationships of the story and that is what supports this book. Really, it read like a romance towards the end which I really loved. The fantasy elements were really well done and integrated within the story as well. The twists were all predictable for me, so that is the only reason why this book wouldn't be higher. I definitely will read this again to revisit the cast

i really liked this!! it was so nice to read a book about Latin American religious/mythological beliefs! the writing was very vivid and I loved the descriptions of the cemetery. i also appreciated the existence of the story, so people can see themselves represented
in saying that, I guessed the plot twist so early on, that it made it hard to not be mad at yadriel for being so dumb. also, there was a bit of insta love, since they knew each other for what? three days?
still a cute and wholesome read though
