This book is what I have been searching for since starting my journey to find representation as a Mexican American person. Both main characters show the different sides of being Mexican American. Also, there is no right way and all ways as long as you are being respectful are valid ways to be Mexican American. Also, the romance is swoony and romantic by the time they have sex the tension is so high you can see it from space. Consent is very important to the love interests and they are both respectful of each other and boundaries which was so nice and refreshing.
