FURIA is YA novel but I'm recommending it to everybody aged 16- 100. Yamile Saied Méndez did a fantastic job combining romance, family struggles, domestic violence, poverty, colourism, heartbreak, violence against women, football, and the life of a teenager in Argentina into a well put together and thoughtful book. I hate to be that Bookstagrammer but I "felt all the feelings"👌🏾 
I love the way Méndez used a lot of Spanish words and phrases in telling this story, it was almost Makumbi-ish in its pride of Argentinian culture and lifestyle. 
I really enjoyed Furia! The book was exciting, inspiring, and well put together. It drew me in with its characters and story, and I couldn’t put it down!
