I may have understood the political background a little more if I was familiar with Mexico's political history but I don't feel like that impeded my enjoyment of the story. This book was riveting and after each of Elvis and Maite's first chapters I could not have predicted where it ended up. This had an act 4 twist that actually made me gasp out loud and had a delightful ending.
