Maybe I'm a little biased because Anna-Marie McLemore is the author of a some of my favorite books, but this one, while being her debut, will be added to the list!
Magical Realism is the book's main theme and therefore it doesn't provide the reader with lore or explanations about the magical things in it (like one would expect in fantasy novels). I'm absolutely fine with not always having reasonable explanations behind events, but if that's not something you are, then maybe don't pick up this book.
If you think a modern retelling along the lines of Romeo and Juliet, featuring representation of minorities spiced up with some magic and plot twists, this is for you ✨
