Description

Guillermo Lozano meets the one girl who is off limits, and as friendship blossoms between them, he decides to break the rules and be a little bit reckless. Text contains mild sexual situations, violence and references criminal activity, drugs and alcohol.

Quick Summary

This is a swoon-worthy forbidden romance where Guillermo falls for the one girl he absolutely should not pursue, and watching him wrestle with his heart versus the rules makes every page feel like a choose-your-own-adventure. Kids will devour the electric tension, the gritty street-life backdrop, and the emotional gut-punch of deciding whether love is worth risking everything for. If your teen loved the drama and moral complexity of "The Hate U Give" or "When You Trap a Tiger," they'll be completely absorbed by this. Ideal for teens 15-18 who want a mature romance with real consequences and zero sanitized endings.
