Tell me a book exists where a transgender, gay Latino teenager saves a bunch of lives and I will give you all of my money. This book made me so happy, I am absolutely obsessed with it. I actually addressed every plot point it brought up and RESOLVED EVERYTHING, plus it had
a really happy ending which I am always and forever here for. Also, Yadriel and Julian are my new favorite couple, absolute kings.
 
Also, I never read the epilogue of a book. My brain is convinced that if it was that important for the story, it would have been in the chapters, ya know? READ THE EPILOGUE. It’s so important in this book and was so wonderful and wrapped everything up in a neat little bow. Absolutely brilliant, will be rereading. 

Side note: the fact that Yadriel’s dead name is never actually given in the book is absolutely gold. It is not necessary for the plot, and I am so glad it was never added. It may seem like a small detail but I can absolutely tell it was intentional, thank you.
