Quotes from my high school students:
"Reads like a self-insert middle school fanfiction."
"Delusional"
"Delulu is not the solulu."
"They're so toxic, they deserve each other."
"Javier is the best character in this book."
"Communication would have shortened this book to just a page."
"If only they would talk to each other."
"She should have ended up with Victor."
"Lack of character description/development."

It seems that all the AC Quintero books are about budding romantic relationships among high school aged students. They’re interesting, but as a nearly 40 year old, I find the storyline less interesting each time.

As far as helping my Spanish skills, this book works.

I find the formatting VERY annoying. Paragraphing is inconsistent. But at this point I’m just picking nits.

Me encantó este libro. Era chistoso e interesante. Es perfecto para personas con un conocimiento del idioma ya porque la gramática no es sencilla. Les recomiendo a todos mis estudiantes que quieran mejorar su español leyendo un libro entretenido.

Es una cuenta bueno pro la majoria. A veces no es realistica y piensas que no es muy bien. A otros veces es muy interesante y comico. Por la fin de la cuenta Tristan y Lena estan saliendo.

Love. How can you not?
