Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This book is a beautiful experience from start to finish. It is emotional and grief-choked in the best way (I say as a person who is grieving). It has superb trans rep (and trans characters never have their deadnames revealed in text, which I found an excellent detail). It is not a doom-and-gloom trans story of loss only. The backdrop of the diverse cultures of the Latinx community is celebrated and beautiful. This book was just phenomenal.
