Kirkus -- "The author infuses some lovely imagery and Mexican folklore into this overall pleasing offering. An appealing coming-of-age story that will engage reluctant readers". -- NetGalley -- "5/5 stars. I cried on the last page. This was so amazing. I've always loved poetry, but reading stories in verse is so different from poems that have no correlations to each other. I loved the feelings this gave me--the writing, the plot, as well as the characters. You don't always get to read stories about gay teens that are just trying to get through life, but when you do, oh my, they are amazing".

-- NetGalley -- "I absolutely loved this coming-of-age story. Such wonderful characters and the right feel--as someone who is gay and was scared to come out, this was such a perfect representation of how it feels".
