Honestl,  I'm ok with flawed charactes but not this flawed. I didn't care for Angie in any of the previous books and I hope we truly never hear from her again because I truly hated that character so much it made the books less enjoyable for me. 
I know to these books are supposed to be realistic but damn it.

I enjoyed this more than I expected, specially since YA isn't my usual genre but I'm glad I tried

I hated the ending though, I am not a fan of ambiguous endings, so for that I can't give it 5 stars

3.0

It was not what I was exp cting as its more paranormal than an actual romance but it was an ok book a little slow for my taste and honestly the whole time I was listening to the audiobook I kept feeling like I'd heard this story before . 
But I do want to finish this trilogy 

I would wait to read all three one after the other

5.0

I would give this 10 stars if I could. I've had this on my TBR for years because the thought of an entire book in verse wasn't appealing but I've recently started my own hip hop journey and felt right to try now. Even though I am Dominican my experience is so different from Xiomara's that at some point they meet and I was her and she was me even when I didn't get it. 
A beautiful story that has left with a hopeful heart as I end this year

1.0

The female main character was unbearable and if something happened in one chapter then the next chapter she either reminisces about it or tells her sister meaning half of the chapters in this book are unnecessary 
I wanted to know how it ends so I kept reading but I did skip some chapters
