it was ok

2.5⭐️


I’ve wanted to read Hunter’s book since I read the chase, you can imagine how excited I was when this book came out.

This book was a disappointment to me. I was excited when I read that Demi was Cuban, then I read this book and what a disappointment.

The Cuban/Latino culture in this book was just.....

description

First of all, Despacito IS NOT salsa. It is Pop/Reggaeton and second of all, mothers don’t call their daughters “mami� that’s creepy af.

It was nice to see the off-campus gang in this book but I don’t know what’s the point of bringing them all back if Sabrina and Tucker (from the goal) aren’t gonna be in the book too, or even mentioned. Yes, I know their book wasn’t one of the best book on the series but I think they at least deserved to be mentioned.

Although the book disappointed me, I laughed a lot and I enjoyed some parts of it.

Anyway, I love Hunter Davenport and I’m really glad he got his happy ending.

Yeah but it had its fun parts though


Tisha Yes the cultural aspect was lacking!

An Tares Exactly my problem! I'm latina and some things were so cringe worthy!


Esmeralda Lorenzo I am Latina and some things were a little cringe but mother’s in some context call their kids va mami. I am Dominican. I will repeat it, it all depends on the context I haven’t read the book in a while so I don’t remember in what context it was used in the book but I wanted to clarify this. As a term of endearment it is used at least in my culture. But yes some things were a little off lol.


Mels Agree with u girl! I really wish people would stop calling everybody Latina, just because they have latin grandparents or parents (Demi isn' even the case, she and her family were born in the USA, so they're definitely NOT LATINOS!
