Aww this book was really sweet to read, the ending made me cry. Two neurodivergent nonbinary latine people try to tackle guilt surrounding their disabilities while finding that being themselves is easy and fun with each other. 

There was a lot of lovely moments in this book for anyone who has struggled with accepting yourself, forgiving yourself, or made a habit of self abandonment. 

Definitely a good read ♡

I enjoyed reading this book, but I prefer Anna-Marie McLemore's other work. I had a hard time following and fully immersing myself in the story. I had a little bit of trouble keeping the two main characters apart. That said, it was very sweet and comforting, despite addressing very important and serious themes. I liked it! I just have a high standard for this author, bc I've read other books I liked a lot better.
