It was amazing!!! Excellent commentary on what it means to try to come to a new place with better opportunities (and illegal immigration). So diverse and beautiful.

The Spanish was refreshing. The sapphic ship and the pacing of their developing relationship was absolutely breathtaking.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tension, both from the fear and from the budding love story. 

The first kiss between the main ship is  so good. Because it isn’t rushed. So the yearning just builds.

The world building was simple and yet so original.
Definitely recommend!!
