This was a very cute read. While at times it was hard to listen to Carmen continue to complain without a lot of action being taken, I think that the overall tone was very consistent with actual teenage emotions. This was the second chance at love for the pair of exes, and despite the characters inner reservations they seemed to develop feelings again pretty fast. I also loved getting to watch the antics surrounding being a party princess and prepping for a Quinceañera.
