This definitely lived up to the hype for me.

The beginning of the book is really painful, but once Kiko goes to California, it got so much better for me. I loved seeing Kiko grow and flourish. It took quite a bit of kindness from some really special people to peel away some of those layers of hurt Kiko's mother had wrapped her in, but slowly, they were removed, and Kiko began to see the young woman other's saw.

Kiko's journey was painful and difficult, but ended with so much hope.
