This is the type of Young Adult fiction I like! 

This book has actually renewed my faith in YA fiction. I used to really like YA fiction in high school and I assumed I just stopped liking it, but this book has renewed my faith in the genre. 

Turns out I don't hate YA, I just hate a lot YA books. But it is good to know that good YA still exists! 

Thank you  Sonora Reyes for renewing my hope in finding YA books that I will enjoy 😭.

I loved Yami, Bo, Cesar, and Jamal (I read this via audio so some of these might be spelled wrong). 
I liked the realistic approach to family relationships and dynamics. I think this handled and portrayed a hard situations in a believable and well rounded way. 

I think Yami's relationships with her mother, brother, and father, were representative, real, and human. 

I loved every part of this book, would recommend!

Cute coming of age story. I did it on audiobook for a road trip. It was perfect. Makes you feel something and come away with a brighter heart. It was funny and touched my heart. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday pick.
