This book is angsty and whimsical and full of heart. Yay for fabulous, queer YA books!
ripleytide's review
A cute, queer, YA, magical realist read that is wholesome enough to verge on Disney-made-for-TV movie. Somewhere between “Ms. Congeniality”, the song “Your Best American Girl,” and a campy teen drama.

The chapter where lita realizes she is grounded because she has people who love her is going to sit in my heart for the rest of time

dlberglund's review against another edition
Talented authors, and great representation in this book but the side characters ruined it for me.
I really did like the main characters a lot, but the antagonists were so thoroughly antagonistic and ridiculously mean that I just couldn't handle it. Stopped at 37% through, because there are books I would rather be spending my time on.

3.5 stars. There is so much great stuff happening here. I just have a hard time with magical realism (though it was very well incorporated here) and it seemed to drag a bit in the middle for me. Still an excellent book and OMG I love the cover!
