Having personal cultural ties to this book, there were a lot of moments where the author would describe a behavior or thought process they had in response to old school Mexican views and I kept picturing myself at various moments. It’s well written, easy to read and a nice flow. It was really fun to identify so much with a book and a character and see a lot of struggles for young Mexican girls and women being brought to light and into question about the injustice and misogyny at the root.

I found Julia so frustrating for most of this book. She was just so negative and unlikeable! Obviously, this was intentional, and given her circumstances, it's understandable, but it still made the book a less enjoyable read for me. Not that it was all bad though - especially in the latter half, it was relieving to see her finally start to communicate her feelings/thoughts with adults.
