Ann Dávila Cardinal

This book was...interesting. It felt very YA, 'I'm not like other girls', instantly fall in love with the boy (all of which I'm pretty sure it was going for so it was spot on there). All of that, but with a hellish supernatural twist. Overall, the concept was really interesting but the execution felt very rushed. I'd also say that the verses from Revelation were a little weird and and too on the nose.

Nope.

The GOOD: Interesting Puerto Rican setting and culture. Neat idea about inherited story-visions. Fun 1970's timeframe.

The BAD: A bit racially motivated. Speaking to classism, but calling it racism. A tiresome topic. A smidge of irritating feminism reactions for no other reason than modern culture over-sensitivity. Shoved in a same sex relationship at 93% with obvious purpose to sneak it in at the end of the book and only to satisfy a diversity bingo checklist. I bailed
