This novel is more than just a Romeo and Juliet retelling. Beyond the inevitable romance between the two main characters, the author explores the themes of cultural identity, strong community, and Latinx traditions. A wide variety of readers will enjoy this title and I am grateful to have gotten to read it early. This is one new release that you will not want to miss!
