This was a sweet ending,as Iprogressed thruthis book I thought that ri’s relationship wher mom would be the one that heals all,but itwasnt. she had a choice to be better for Ri,be present for her,&show their GMA that she has changed. Butthe reality is that althaddiction is a disease,it can also be a choice&she chose drinking&aman instead of herfamily.but Ri isn’t alone-she has great friends &a gma that loves her.

Ri also confessed to feeling lost &trying drugs& sneaking around, which I know was extremely difficult. But it was very needed. Her gma needed to face the reality of how her coldness &dismissiveness has affected Ri’s identity,her need to feel free to make her own choices, & how she views the relationship she has w not only her GMA, but her friends &community as well.Both of them needed to start over again.

she finally sat down w gma &all the truth came out its very emotional.they look at picstogether &She talks about the reason why she &her gpa were so strict-they had a dream &they wanted to be taken seriously &wanted better for their family,& when their daughter started getting addicted &eventually kicked out,they started being more controlling.they never talked abt why her mom wasnt around &whythey raised Ri this way

Her gma took her to see her mom after all that happened wJohn harassing her &them getting drunk.&the crazy thing is that her gma took her to see that she had left her all over again.She chose John&drinking over daughter.I was not expecting this ending(?)w her mom,iwas truly expecting for her mom to heal and build her relationship wRi & her gma.But I guess the ending showed some reality I haven’t considered much.

Also shoutout Britney and Nina!!! They saved Ri and honestly even though it was a risk getting gma mad it was needed and it worked out. Everyone needed to find the truth and apologize and face reality. I’m glad this was the start to many of these relationships healing ❤️‍🩹 they are great friends and I’m glad gma also apologized and appreciated the girls

i was really hooked during these 2 ch.John being a mfcreep toward Ri &being sup controlling shocked me abit but at the same time not surprised hes taking advantage of her mom &her addiction,so that she doesnt leave. The fact that it was her gma who went to go save her?!I was NOT expecting that.But I am glad thatshe wasn’t super harsh on her &that this traumaticsituation opened hereyes to what Ri has been through

grandma sitting her down?!Bye I was scared for her I thought she was going to tell her she knows abt Ri &her mom,or the coke thing but she ends up talking abt her &brit growing apart.also Brit accusing Ri of being too busy getting high..like girl.Anyway I thought her and Edgar’s interactions were so cute!!I actually like him &his mom is so welcoming.but I did think they were gonna kissor do more let’s not sayyy

It’s after the party &I’m glad that Ri is getting closer w her new friends.I like to read their interactions rather than when she’s w Britney But I will say-I don’t think Britney is necessarily a bad friendYes she’s passive aggressive &needs to be more considerate abt what she’s saying 2 Ri but the way she reacts abt Ri doing coke,IS VALID!!I think Ri was honestly trying to find another reason to drop her

I enjoyed this chap it was interesting to read how she was feeling &thinking through the whole party as she hangs out either friends,finds out about Carlos hooking up with other ppl,does coke w the yt girls,when she dances with her friends&then Brittany notices she’s more than drunk &she finally confronts her hypocrisies aswellas her passive aggressiveness &her being lowk racist.but I feel like there’s more to it

Edgar & Ri had a lil study sesh together.They seem to have a lot more chemistry with each other than with carlos.Why would Carlos cancel again? I feel like either he’s hiding something or just is afraid of committing to Ri. Idk.It reminds me of that one he-devil I used to date.Anyways I like Edgar and ri’s friendship,& if it turns into a relationship I think they’d have a good foundation & would make more sense

Ok so Carlos & Ri are seemingly having a fling. They know they like eachother & she seems to not mind losing her v to him,which I’ll say, if you’re sure abt it why not? As long as you’re safe & it’s all consensual. HOWEVER he does kinda give me sus vibes w his intentions.. we don’t know a lot abt him. I think she may end up trying things out w Edgar tho,he seems like a genuinely sweet dude,maybe a switch up

Ri went to save her gma from getting in trouble with her boss,&she got a glimpse of what her gma’s day to day look like& how hard she works everyday for her.She starts to feel bad and almost as a burden that she has to work more and sacrifice to make sure ri’s good.I hope she studies her ass off 4 her exam,I wish Carlos had studied with her. Seems like Edgar might be the guy for her instead. I want to finish alre

SO.MUCH.HAPPENED.Ok so 1st of all Brittany being weird with Nina Edgar & Carlos?Girl honestly she’s on thin ice & I just know that she’s gonna keep being micro aggressive, but im glad Maria kinda confronted her abt it. Ok also Carlos and Ri almost getting it on? Byeee I was scared her gma would catch them. She then got to talk to her mom and some truth was let out BUT gma is still lying making her the villian,hmm

She is suspicious of Britney and her friendship with her— I think it lowkey might be micro aggressions that doesn’t notice bc 1. It’s her bff 2. She’s white washed and so they might get along more. Anyways but I’m glad she’s talking to Nina now and she showed up at the right time, when her mom straight up stood her up 😭 her mom needs to be better bro omg

Her relationship with Britney is getting a bit complicated, she’s realizing that she may not understand her on a lot of levels but tries to look past it bc they’ve been friends for years and they care for eachother a lot. However, I do want her to branch out and have more Mexican friends, and I like what her and Carlos have going

She joined a Spanish class and is trying to be upfront with her grandma about wanting to learn Spanish and her heritage but she is very adamant about the fact that Maria is American and looks white so she doesn’t need to anything else beyond that. I have a feeling she is behind the reason why Nina stopped talking to her. Maria is also starting to see through some of the cracks in Britney’s character

Interesting start, I’m starting to get to know her character. I’m intrigued. She hasn’t seen her mom since she was a baby, we don’t know why she’s not in her life. she says that she can’t speak Spanish or is not in touch with her roots bc her mother was very in touch w their heritage. but anyways her grandma doesn’t want her to have a relationship with her mom and doesn’t want her to be mex American
