This is not just a cute, young adult beach read you'd predict from the cover so don't go into it having that expectation. It covers heavy topics such as undocumented immigration/deportation and abusive parenting. Even though I am not latinx, as a daughter of an immigrant I could definitely relate to some of the pressures Carly was feeling and the disconnect with her peers/boyfriend who just didn't understand what it was like being in her shoes.
