Cuban American Camila N??ez has always been afraid of the future. She's been working hard to keep her anxieties in check, but with so many new experiences--her first queer love, trouble with her dog walking job, her mother's judgments about her body, learning to drive, her father being too busy with work--there's just so much to worry about.
So when Camila's best friend gives her a tarot card reading for her sixteenth birthday, she believes it when the cards predict terrible things to come. As the year unfolds, the cards seem to be spot-on--is her papi having an affair? Will her best friend's love life ruin their friendship? Are all her relationships doomed to fail?
Whether she's ready or not, Camila will have to reckon with all the ways her fear about the future is ruining her life and learn to find peace amidst it all.
