I read this for a Mythologies in Latinx fiction course I’m sitting in on this semester and thoroughly enjoyed it. Considering that this book was originally published in 2015, I wish I’d known about it back when I was in high school because I probably would’ve loved it even more back then. The representation was great and I loved how these concepts were incorporated into the story.
