What a beautiful coming-of-age story. 

I love seeing more books with disability rep and hip dysplasia is one I had not seen in books until now. And the author was so vulnerable in the way that this book was written. 

The relationship between Verónica and her family is one I could relate to so well, that it brought me to tears a few times. The whole idea of Verónica not knowing who she was doing things for is one I have found myself in, in various stages of my life. As a child of immigrant parents, you want to honor the sacrifices that they have made for you but there also comes a point where one has to live life for ourselves and not for them. And I loved seeing Verónica come to this realization. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarion Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
