5.0

I have been looking forward to this book since I found it about it, and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. Karla Cornejo Villavicencio has such a way with words, and this story and its characters were real and heartbreaking and funny and beautiful. The abandonment/daddy issues hit me especially hard.

I feel like I can't explain my favorite things about this book without spoiling it, but just know that it does some unique things really well and I'm so grateful I got to read it when I did.

Thank you to Random House One World and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this ARC.
