I really liked the book, it was a fun read with loveable characters and good writting. Some things where a bit underdeveloped and plotholey did we ever learn what it was that Julian and Rio fought about? And would maybe have liked more talking about the death of Yadriels mother) and I had the plot twistfigured out since... I belive chapter 2? (Did also not like how the only other outsider, even thou for a diffrent reason, where non transphobic and always accepting Tio Catriz. Thou there where a very brief acknowledgement from Enriuqe that the family played a part in making Catriz do what he did). I also would have liked to see more of Julians friends and feelt that Maritza was a bit passive in some scenes she was in, not saying anything even thought it felt like it was something she could and would do.
But yeah, sweet book and enjoyable to read.
