I listened to the audiobook edition which had great narration. Julia felt relatable to me as it brought back memories of being a teenager with the angsty feeling of being misunderstood, of figuring out the world, of learning to see the world through the eyes of adults. I thought the writing was beautiful, not overly descriptive but descriptive enough to place you in Julia's shoes. I also appreciate that this is a story about relationships with family, friends, and new romantic possibilities.

This book hits very hard, and it feels very familiar for those of us who were born extremely sensitive and very emotional (and everyone feels like they need to remind us about it all the damn time). I felt a closeness to Julia, and I look forward to reading more from Ms. Sanchez.

Trauma filled. I'm sure it will be a good book for some, but not for me. Check CW
