Five starred reviews!!
In this daring and romantic fantasy debut perfect for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and Latinx authors Zoraida Córdova and Anna-Marie McLemore, society wife-in-training Dani has a great awakening after being recruited by rebel spies and falling for her biggest rival.
At the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society. Depending on her specialization, a graduate will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children. Both paths promise a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class.
Daniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her pedigree is a lie. She must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society.
And school couldn’t prepare her for the difficult choices she must make after graduation, especially when she is asked to spy for a resistance group desperately fighting to bring equality to Medio.
Will Dani cling to the privilege her parents fought to win for her, or will she give up everything she’s strived for in pursuit of a free Medio—and a chance at a forbidden love?

It's been a really nice read, it is nothing exceptional, but at the same time it has an interesting plot and world building. It ended with a huge cliffhanger, and I'm glad I already have the second book or I don't know what I would have done without knowing what happens next. The main character, Dani, was your typical 17-year-old heroin from a YA book: troubled past, conflicting emotions on her future, her life, her decision to help the rebels or not, her love interest. The love interest, Carmen, was my favorite character, I pictured her as Nina Zenik from Grishaverse, and maybe that's the main reason why I like her so much, but still, she was really nice and, well, I like been hurt. yikes!
