While I enjoyed this second book, it fell in the same way Lobizona does. It feels still edited to help hand-hold white readers. The over-explanation of things in real-world Latine culture can be a lot and annoying for a fellow Latine person. This book also left me feeling a little deflated for Manu and her friends at the end. Yes you can change things from the inside, but it feels like a slap in the face to the undocumented folks who are seeing themselves in Manu, for her to end up where she does. Overall, still enjoyed the book.
