Destiny is "your average fourteen-year-old Puerto Rican-American girl...trying to survive mi familia." Instead of listening to her traditional mom and progressive sister fight about her quinceañera, Destiny prefers to skateboard with her friend Omar and a cute new guy. Though Destiny's narration is stiff, the novel provides insight into the stress--and celebration--a quince can bring.
