Review

The daughter of two undocumented immigrants from Mexico, Julia is determined to solve the mysterious circumstances of her older sister's accidental death. Meanwhile, she feels like she's always being compared to her perfect, dead sister, and she makes some mistakes in the eyes of her strict parents. Readers should be prepared for mature content, including sex, suicidal ideation, attempts at suicide, extramarital affairs, and more.

Overall Book Score: very good
