I finished this book in 3 days and I didn’t ever want to put it down! I loved how the narrative was told, the characters were compelling, and the writing style was easy and had a nice flow to it. The plot twist at the end was well executed but I felt like it wasn’t necessary.

One of the best books I've ever read! The whole story was absolutely heartbreaking but amazing, I couldn't stop reading it. Evelyn as a character was so lovable and funny even tho she had many flaw. I adored the friendships and relationships! I've never cried as much as I did while reading this book! My heart was completely shattered and I never knew I could cry the way I did. One aspect that wasn't represented in a good way was Evelyns identity as a Cuban women. It didn't add anything gk the story since she hid her identity the whole time and it contained many stereotypes. But other than that it's definitely a 5 star read! ( trigger warnings need to be checked!)
