I really enjoyed this book. I thought the story was interesting, I loved each character so much. There we so many moments that made me wanna punch some transphobes, but also some that warmed my queer heart. I think Julian is definitely a fav new character. He was so funny and wonderful and silly and made me feel so emotional. Just ✨fictional men✨. 
My biggest issue was with the pacing. I felt like the story took a long while to get going and it was very dense only in the last fifty or so pages. 
The trans rep was phenomenal though. I really related to a lot of moments and situations (same as I did with Felix ever after). 
I'm also very glad I knew just enough Spanish to not need to Google the few sentences 😅. I'm very proud of myself for that haha.
