In short, THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! We follow our main character, Mags, as she struggles with a dark family secret that she must keep to herself to protect everyone around her. This burden, however, keeps her from getting close with anyone outside of her sick abuela. Mags juggles school, work, helping her mama care for her abuela, and spending nights in her abuela’s basement taking care of some unnamed monster. When a childhood friend, Nessa, shows back up in town after years away, her whole world is flipped upside down. She starts attending parties, spending more time outside of her abuela’s house (which is out of the norm for her), and she must ultimately come face-to-face with the monster she’s been avoiding. In order to live her life, she must embrace every part of herself with open arms.
