4.0

There were a few times when I wanted to quit reading this in the beginning because the first-person narrative of Julia Reyes is very intense, but something kept making me pick it up again, until I genuinely wanted to...and I'm very glad I finished this book.

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to better understand: grief/loss, depression, Mexican-American culture & expectations, sexual harassment and assault, family bonds and secrets, and adolescent experiences. It is not light reading but it really is excellently written and important!
