 This book is heartbreakingly raw at times and so real in its depiction of the overtly patriarchal and homophobic Latinx community so many find themselves in; but, it’s also beautiful in its ability to show change within that community. The audiobook narrator does a great job of threading the nuances in tone when Yami is exploring all of these emotions and it’s hard not to find oneself feeling it all. There were so many moments where I was so pissed at others on Yami's behalf. Every time her mom would make a homophobic remark, I wanted to slap her and tell her that words have consequences. 

This was a great book and I highly recommend!
