i really liked this!! it was so nice to read a book about Latin American religious/mythological beliefs! the writing was very vivid and I loved the descriptions of the cemetery. i also appreciated the existence of the story, so people can see themselves represented
in saying that, I guessed the plot twist so early on, that it made it hard to not be mad at yadriel for being so dumb. also, there was a bit of insta love, since they knew each other for what? three days?
still a cute and wholesome read though
