Isabel just wanted to go home.  Sirius was a man drowning in guilty.  They found each other over and over again.  Their relationship went from not quite enemies to friends to lovers. It felt like Isa was more concerned with saying she didn't fit in and just wanted to go back to Mexico that was in the middle of a war. Isa sounded like a petulant child stomping her foot whining she wanted to go home.  She would rather go back to a warzone than admit she likes a boy in a country that she was forced to retreat to.   That agitated me the whole book.  Sirius met with his friends, after a booze soaked night of mourning his relationship, to be convinced to just cave into her whims and move to Mexico.  So that is where it ended... Sirius giving in and moving away from everything he knows to move to a country he doesn't know the language.  Congratulations Isabel, you won.
