emotional funny mysterious reflective fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

 This is probably the most unique story I have read this year! I really enjoyed this teenage magical realism story about Caro, Rosie and Zeke (who we receive rotating first-person POV). I felt equally invested in all of the characters' chapters, and I only wish the book was a bit longer! 

This is my first read of Camille Gomera-Tavarez and it will not be my last!
