Furia is such an inspiring, reflective story that shows a girl’s determination to pursue her dreams in life. I love her friendship with Roxana and complicated love story with Diego.  Even though her family situation is difficult, I love how she continues to persevere and push past the boundaries and expectations of her parents and society. Although I don’t like how she lied, I understand why she thought it might help her in the long run and I like how she eventually confronted her secrets and fears. Camila is a very incredible, brave character and if she were a real person I would have been delighted to meet her! Hope everyone was as mesmerized by the book as me.
