I absolutely fell in love with the characters, there were multiple times i had to put the book down and run around my living room before coming back to it.
I felt so seen in Yadriel's anxious tendencies, but the bigger surprise for me was recognizing the struggles i had as a teenager with ADHD reflected in Julian. Full of energy and quick to anger, just like I was at that age!
The trans representation meant a lot to me. There are details of some struggles but also a lot of love and support! And reading about the ups and downs Yadriel has with his Latinx family felt like coming home.
It took me a few chapters to get sucked in, but once I did I couldn't put it down!
