This book was fun, but the main character was too stupid to live. I got so sick of her making the exact wrong move at every turn that I wanted to slap her. Fortunately her mom and aunts were hilarious enough to make the book worth reading.

Yeah, so, the ending was wild and

I don't think love overcomes kidnapping ppl with a gun.

I should not have been surprised, though, given the start. Ha.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book, and I think I'd read another, even though the writing wasn't my fave. It was very conversational, which is totally accessible and fun and makes for a nice relaxing read. It's just not as much my jam. But I love a good love story, and I really liked the peak into this very female-driven world.

This was hilarious. I never quite knew where the story was going to go next, but I loved Medellin and the Aunties. My one complaint is that Nathan didn't seem that developed as a character. In general, there were a lot of coincidences that seemed to exist just so the story could move forward. But still, I highly recommend, and I look forward to the screen adaptation.
