Thank you to @epicreads for the finished copy and @harperaudio for the ALC.

I knew I wanted to read this book before I even knew what it was about. That’s how I feel about Latinx books! 

Lulu and Milagro’s Search for Clarity is a YA contemporary novel about sisters trying to find themselves.
I love me a good coming of age book. 15 years ago we didn’t have books like this available, it’s why I read so much YA. Representation does matter and there’s so much of it now. 

I really enjoyed reading this book. This YA story follows Lulu and Milagros, who spend a week on their school’s college road trip. 
This book is very character driven. You’re here for the growth of these characters. 

The author did a fantastic job at portraying how teens act and think. I definitely recommend this one to teens who are in the process of planning their future. 

I’m honestly shocked that this is a debut, it was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed it from start to finish. If you’re looking for something light, I suggest you pick this up. 

I also listened to the audiobook and I loved it. It was narrated by Adriana Santos and Sol Madariaga. They made it so easy to distinguish between the two sisters. Honestly 10/10 on the audiobook.

Thank you to HCC Frenzy for sending me an arc for an honest review.
4/5 stars
I enjoyed reading this one. It was a fun story with really great characters and I loved seeing Milagro’s and Lulu’s personal journeys while they were on this trip. The sister relationship in the book is also a highlight for me, and I loved how it felt realistic.
I thought both Milagro and Lulu were fantastic characters. They both grew so much throughout the story, and I really liked both of them by the end.
The pacing was good, but it did feel a little bit slow and repetitive at times especially when Lulu was focusing on the same issues.
This book was full of heart and sisterly love, and also finding out truths about family and yourself. I’d definitely recommend this YA contemporary.
