gabydoesgrowth's review against another edition

Started this book on a roadtrip and struggled to buy into the story even though the premise sounded very interesting.

I really loved this. It was heartfelt, it felt real, and the plot was excellent. I especially appreciated the deep love Yadriel had for his culture and his religion, and how that was reflected in the prose.

I love this author, the diversity is a significant draw. Trans Latinx characters are so underrepresented in media. I feel like I learned a lot about the culture as well

Nie spodziewałom się, że młodzieżówka może połączyć aż tak dobrze romans z wątkiem przygodowo-śledczym. Zwrot akcji nie jest w pełni przewidywalny ale są bazy by mieć swoje podejrzenia, niestety jedna postać drugoplanowa staje się przez niego trochę... słabiej napisana. Tak jak Yadriel jestem trans gejem i myślę, że gdybym miał te książkę w okresie gdy dopiero to odkrywałem to bardzo by mi pomogła w zrozumieniu siebie wcześniej.
