I received an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Made me cry, 5 stars.

I absolutely loved this with my whole heart. The story, characters, everything was amazing. Benigno drew me in from the first page. The narration and writing is so beautiful and whimsical, especially Río's parts. Their romance is tender and heartwarming and I found myself tearing up reading some lines.
Every character is rich and diverse, they all feel so alive. I love the found family trope and this was perfectly done. I really cannot recommend this book enough.
