This is a meandering book that is at times boring and tedious but other times astute and charming. I appreciated a few of Catalina’s observations and the ending was powerful, but the novel had no structure and left a lot to be desired. I understand what the author set out to do, but it underwhelmed me.

DNF— Too meandering, too many characters, too experimental. This book needs editing and cohesion.

I truly loved these essays and learned so much about art and Chicanx culture.
It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han
I loved the first book. This one was frustrating. Not sure if I have the heart to finish this series.
