emotional mysterious medium-paced

3.75

3.75. I wanted to like this more than I did. Unfortunately I was bored more often than expected.

There were way too many spots where I could read the first line of the paragraph and instantly know I won't get any important information in terms of plot or character development. Add in the fact that some interactions were repeated with minimal changes and the same result - cue yawn.

I also predicted the twist as soon as the people and elements were introduced, and the romance felt flat.

The only thing I liked was the overall theme.

Rep: Trans ftm, gay & Latinx main character. Gay, trans mtf and Latinx side characters.

The book got off to a bit of a slow start but by the end I was desperate to know what was going to happen next. It was slightly confusing with the Spanish sprinkled into the dialogue but there were mostly explanations provided and you could still follow what was happening in the story. 

Overall I loved this book as the characters were so well fleshed out and they felt so familiar.
