This is one of the most important coming-out stories you'll probably ever read. I can tell just from the first few pages that it'll touch readers' hearts, make them smile, make them cry, make them feel like they matter in the world.
Juliet has such an unapologetic (la sin vergüenza, indeed!), powerful voice that will certainly resonate with many people, especially POC.
If you were a brown, round, queer teenage girl living in the Bronx at one point in your life (or you still are), this book will feel like a diary of sorts. You'll ask yourself: who is this girl? Is she me, from another Universe? And most importantly: how can I meet her?
Another trope I love: "meeting your heroes" and how these can come crashing down on all your expectations like a hurricane. I'm LIVING for this book!
