Never Look Back by Lilliam Rivera
4.0
Such a beautiful retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice story.
With a familiar approach to Spanglish and vivid imagery and PAINFUL truths about grief and acceptance, my only critique is for the amount of pop-culture references and modern slang usage- it dates the book and feels too much at times. Popular slang seen all over social media isn't often used in every other sentence but the writing style, beyond that, felt informal in a fresh and comfortable way.
GIVE ME MORE BORICUA X GREEK MYTHOLOGY CROSSOVERS !!!!
