(4) YA Since Mercedes won an art competition last year, personal crises (including a crush on best friend Victoria and a dying abuela back in Puerto Rico) have impeded her creativity and inspiration. Then a new neighbor introduces Mercedes to a mysterious, invitation-only artists' colony. Despite intriguing magical realism and complex character relationships, too many narrative strands make for a somewhat muddled story.
