So well-written, such an interesting plot! I was invested right away and never knew what was coming next! Can't wait until the 2nd book gets to my house!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
I felt like the 3rd book wrapped up the story really well and I was content with that ending. I also wasn't thrilled with the petty jealousy moments or the change in POV every chapter when the other books had been almost entirely Aspen's POV.

I love the storyline, the queerness of the MMC and nearly everyone else, and the brilliant world-building that references Latinx cultures. Very excited for the 2nd book!
