Disclaimer: it’s a 3 star for me but the author is Colombian-American like me so I wanna show support to mi paisana  😂


Okay, so I really didn’t know much about this book besides what I saw on a video on YouTube by Cari can read so I knew it was hyped on tik tok and that people felt let down and Cari herself wasn’t a fan but I love these types of books, was going on a roadtrip and then I learned about the Colombian thing and it was over. Basically what I’m saying is I went in with low expectations.

The story was fine. Honestly I just kept thinking this was good blueprint lol like there’s potential but it just needed more plot and world building. Author felt overly descriptive and it was kinda like okay can you give us some info besides poetic descriptions to sound deep.

I think it would make a cool show and I hope her writing improves with the next book…

I do wanna say that if I had read this in middle school I would’ve ATE this book uppppp. Omg I just know it. Oh and I kinda like that I don’t know which guy i like more. Like I know one of them did that kinda shitty thing buttt it was more out of desperation than malice and Idk I kinda wanna see where this goes…

Finished it on my drive with audiobook which I enjoyed in case yall ever need like an easy read while you clean your house or drive!
