Relatable!!!

An amazing book! Being chicana and reading the setting and situation i can definitely relate. Just an overall an amazing book, i will give to my teenage daughter for her to read. Depression ans anxiety is real.

Relatable!

I was thoroughly enjoying the book, but somewhere around the last third of it is where I absolutely fell in love.

This book hit so many nails on the head!

You will love this book. As soon as I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I read this book within a week, if it was up to me (and I didn't have to adult) I would've finished it way sooner. The story is so good and definitely hit many nails on the head when it came to comparing it to my life. You won't regret reading this book.

My new favorite book!

I loved that the book was so relatable. It had me so hooked that I read it in three days. I felt all the emotions that the main character was feeling throughout the book.

my thoughts

I had to get used to the first person present. I did not enjoy the constant reference to other books. It was like, "warn the reader to do research before reading". I enjoyed the Spanglish though, nice touch. The awareness of mental health was on point! Out young people matter too. I appreciate the fact how much Julia respected her parents enough not to break their hearts though.
