I found this to be really interesting read. I was really invested in all the characters and felt like the book was well paced. I loved the look into Latina culture and I really loved the characters relationship to their culture. I also really liked how the friendship dynamics were not dramatically effected by romance. I loved the book being set over a year and loved seeing these characters grown and change. I hope to read more by this author in the future.

I was given an ARC by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This was not a book for me. There were 4 POV’s that switched regularly and just too much going on for me to relax and enjoy. It was almost as hectic as my own life, and I generally read to escape that hectic-ness.

I did love the Latino rep and the Spanish conversations, as well as the LGBT rep.

Four teenagers, best friends, nearing the end of their high school career in Denver, CO. All four of them feeling like they are lacking, or lack agency in their lives. The new year's resolutions they make for each other take them through a bumpy year, but everyone learns to be a bit more independent or vulnerable in the end. As all four of them are latinx, you see different ways in which that aspect of their identity shows up in their decisions and their family relationships.
