I'm definitely not the target audience for this book as a 35 year old woman. This book is great for the 14-18 crowd.
I say thay but then I'm 100% sure there were nods to Mean Girls which is def my age haha.
There was a lot of teenage angst and high school drama. It just got old and felt silly to me.
I love the way the narrator switches seamlessly between english and spanish. I loved the coming out scene. It actually made me cry (in a good way).
The ending was super cheesy in a cute way.
The author does a great job of hitting a lot of topics that are typically seen as taboo, in an attempt to help normalize it, which I appreciate; gay, bi, therapy, coming out, talking to family, ect.
Again, I'm not this book's demographic so a lot of the things I don't like are probably things the target audience will appreciate.

Love love love! This is a book I read for my queer teen closeted self and man this book brought a lot of healing. TW because I wasn’t prepared for this story line but there is SI discussed within this story and it was quite emotional.

Anyway, Yami and Cesar are the sibling duo I didn’t know I needed. Their character development is so awesome to watch. I saw myself in them and at the same time I saw my siblings. They’re precious, this story is precious. I love the writing style, it was very much like I was involved in every conversation and feeling all the emotional experiences each of the characters felt. Highly recommend this to young queer readers and newly out of the closet adults.
