A totally new culture to explore! I really enjoyed learning more about Mexico's heritage and seeing it through the eyes of someone with parents from each nation. That said, the characters didn't pull at my heartstrings and the plot swerved in different directions so, for me, it didn't feel particularly satisfying when resolution came.
