this was an amazing book. i got it from school for free 2 years ago, so why not read it finally? although i'm not Mexican, i related to Julia so much, from where i live (Chicago) and my dream to start a life for myself. we are so close in age, so it really wakes me up that my Senior year is in 3 weeks and i have to choose my path, so this was so so reflective for me. this book made me tear up for real like i could really feel for her. i got confused on the timeline sometimes and had to pause and figure out long has it been, but nonetheless, this book was phenomenal. i love books that are relatable and help me realize so many things about people, myself, the world, etc. and this book did that. i loved it and finished it in 4 days. i would definitely recommend especially to young growing women such as Julia herself.
