I found the first half of this book really slow, however I ended up liking it. The last fifty pages were wild - I did not expect a crazy plot twist at all. 
I liked the use of Spanish and I absolutely adored Julian’s character.
I also loved the lgbt rep in this story and the (spoiler) ending with the dad accepting him was really sweet. I would recommend this book however if it feels like it’s dragging at first don’t worry because i felt that and it does get better. 
Good cute read that touches on important topics and will leave you smiling!!

Nie spodziewałom się, że młodzieżówka może połączyć aż tak dobrze romans z wątkiem przygodowo-śledczym. Zwrot akcji nie jest w pełni przewidywalny ale są bazy by mieć swoje podejrzenia, niestety jedna postać drugoplanowa staje się przez niego trochę... słabiej napisana. Tak jak Yadriel jestem trans gejem i myślę, że gdybym miał te książkę w okresie gdy dopiero to odkrywałem to bardzo by mi pomogła w zrozumieniu siebie wcześniej.
