Was extremely relatable for any person who grew up in a difficult household where you never understood the challenges your parents went through to get to America whilst also being affected by the unprocessed trauma of your parents.  Was strong representation of a poc household, specifically mexican, but as a non-mexican, it was still very relatable and did make me cry.

While it is great that this book seeks to cover heavy topics in this coming of age novel, it is overall very slow paced and a bit disconjointed/rushed in places throughout the storyline.
