I really enjoyed this book. A remix of a tale I also read in high school. The play of two teens from different societal norms that find they are similar and can find balance in their differences is very interesting. I liked that the main character and her family are of Hispanic descent as I’ve not read many stories from Afro-Hispanic voices. The familiarity of assumptions, perceptions, and general teen experiences were refreshing and at times frustrating to read. I loved the additional details involving African traditional religions/spiritualities also.
