Kids say the book is a powerful representation of the struggles faced by a Mexican American teenager, including themes of mental health, family expectations, and cultural pressures, but it also contains mature content such as violence, sexual themes, and language that some find inappropriate for younger readers. While many commend it for its authenticity and relatability, others feel the graphic nature of these topics can make it overwhelming for readers under 14.
