This book hits in all the right places.

Does it take me longer to read books that remind me of Latine Family Guilt? Yes, yes it does. Does not mean it's not a good book. 

Oh Angelo Angelo Angelo, where can I find him?  He is how I wish most Latine men were, but sadly he is fictional.  

Adored the family dynamics in this book. The connections and every single bit of it had me balling and loving it at the same time.  I am very excited to read Catalina's book, which luckily I have the arc for.

Do not go into this book expecting it to be very spicy.
