The Best Bad Things by Katrina Carrasco
2.0
I love historical fiction, and I was intrigued by the cross-dressing element and strong female characters. But this was just an all-right read.
The protagonist Camp/Alma constantly wanted to pick a fight, to the point where it felt a little farcical. The gender play and way that Rosales distinguished between female Alma and male Camp lent a rather humdrum story an edge. Otherwise, it was just a crime/thriller with a bunch of men beating each other up and trying to smuggle drugs.
