Lidia and Mateo have been friends for years, and their relationship is extremely close-but they’re not the type of friends who constantly voice their affection for each other. By the same token, Lidia thinks that Mateo’s Facebook page is a “wasteland,” but his social media presence is nevertheless something she finds comforting. In Mateo’s opinion, Lidia is more beautiful than ever since having Penny, but Lidia feels like she looks tired all the time and so she never allows others to put pictures of her on social media. In the present, Lidia isn’t close with her parents, so she’s raising Penny alone with her grandmother, Abuelita. Penny’s birth was also traumatic, since about a week before Penny was born, Lidia’s fiancé, Christian, received his Death-Cast alert and died-but because he was out of town and Lidia was so exhausted, she missed all his attempts to contact her and say goodbye. Before, Lidia she got her hair done weekly and was a dedicated student-but having Penny meant that Lidia had to drop out of high school to care for her. About a year before the novel begins, Lidia had her daughter, Penny, which changed Lidia in a number of ways.
