This was a very sweet book about the experience of two non-binary, Mexican teens living with neurodivergence. There’s magical realism woven throughout the perspectives of each character, with reflections on gender and ADHD and Dyslexia as a main focus.
The message was a bit bluntly communicated, but the messages were good ones and the story telling was beautiful. It did get a bit repetitive at times but overall it was a really sweet read.
