🌶 Fade to black 

You know, sometimes it's hard when you read predominantly one genre to find something truly unique when it comes to storylines. Romeo and Juliet retelling featuring rival Mariachi bands, which happen to also be feuding families? Sign me up. The drama? I love it. 

My only criticism is I feel like we missed out on some stuff. Like there were jumps where I felt like I WANTED to see the rehearsals, I WANTED to see the competition finals etc.
