This should be required reading! Such a beautiful and accurate portrayal of the struggles a first gen Mex.Am. Girl faces ontop of all the other struggles teens face in todays day & age. The poetry in the book is so powerful and emotiona! It really captured the complex and angsty teen emotions. Oh did I mention the FMC Gabi is hilarious! I was a fan of her dark humor! The journal entry style of writing was well done. I knocked off one star because the ending was a bit underwhelming for my liking. Otherwise this is a very special book!
