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.
Moderate: Death, Car accident, and Death of parent
Minor: Gun violence, Misogyny, Violence, and Abandonment

However, I wasn't a huge fan of the story. There isn't a whole lot that happens in this story thats exciting. Its kind of dry up until a few parts at the end & it made it hard to want to continue reading. I really loved Angelo's character but wasn't a huge fan of Mariana. I also felt like there were entirely too many characters & some felt unnecessary. There are characters that add to the book, but they weren't introduced well enough to be recognized, they were kind of just tossed in.
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Sexual content
