Due to the amount of hate comments I have seen on reviews (both pro-trans & anti-trans) I will not be reviewing or rating this book.

Ana María & Gideon were perfect for each other. I wanted more interactions between them, but I enjoyed the overall story and didn't feel like a lot of spice was needed. Although, I do hope there is more build-up in the next book. I want more angst and close encounters. If it is going to be a slow-burn enemies to lovers (which it seems like from the hints in this book) then I need more tension between the characters.
All that being said, the spicy scene dialogue was a little cringe, but I was willing to look past that since I loved the rest of the story so much. I can't wait for book 2!

The first half of this book made me feel so uncomfortable because too many characters reminded me of people I knew in high school. I didn't trust any character and questioned everyone's motives until the very end. Reading this in high school would've made me extremely paranoid. I feel relieved that I'm an adult and my kids go to very diverse schools.
As for the overall story, I was grateful for the
