Despite the hard themes and topics in this book, it was very easy to read. Gonzalez is a very smart author who knows how to keep a very easy pace with her writing. The environment and the characters felt so real, as I was reading I felt like I was right there beside them. I also loved that this book focused on adults still finding their way in the world and not on 17 year olds figuring everything out somehow.
