 I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCHHHH! It was steeped in so much Latinx culture, I felt so immersed in the story and characters and it was written so beautifully and intentionally. It was such a wonderful coming of age story with the added difficulty of a trans protagonist trying to prove his place and gender with his more traditional family. It was also reflective of the struggles of Latinx Americans, especially children of immigrants, and I loved learning more about this aspect of things.

The story had some very unexpected twists and turns, and I didn’t want it to end!
