— In one sentence —
The second Hidalgo brothers novel for readers following Netflix's Through My Window films back to the books.
§ 01 · WHY READ
Why read
Through You is Ariana Godoy's second Hidalgo brothers novel in English, following Through My Window and shifting the focus from Raquel and Ares to Artemis Hidalgo and Claudia. Netflix's Hidalgo film trilogy keeps the book sequence visible for show-first readers, while the W by Wattpad Books edition gives English readers a legal route into the sequel.
This is not the place to start if you have never read the series. It works best after Through My Window, when the Hidalgo household already feels familiar and the family power dynamics have weight. Artemis and Claudia's relationship is more tangled than a clean teen-romance premise: class difference, secrecy, loyalty, and emotional history all matter.
Read it if Netflix made you want the wider Hidalgo family story. Skip it if you only want Raquel and Ares, or if possessive romance and messy boundaries are not what you want right now.
§ 02 · CHARACTERS
Characters
Artemis Hidalgo is the controlled older brother whose privilege does not make him emotionally free.
Claudia is close enough to the Hidalgo family to know its rules and far enough outside it to feel their cost.
The Hidalgo family remains the pressure system around the romance. The family name shapes what people can admit, hide, and choose.
§ 03 · HIGHLIGHTS
Three highlights
No. 1 - Sequel-family angle. The book widens the Hidalgo story without asking readers to leave the Netflix-connected world.
No. 2 - Clear English route. W by Wattpad Books lists a standard English edition with ISBN 9781990778445.
No. 3 - Fandom continuation. It is a useful next read for people who finished the first book or film and want the family story to keep moving.
§ 04 · EDITIONS
Recommended editions
| Edition | Why pick it |
|---|---|
| W by Wattpad Books paperback | The main English edition and the cleanest bibliographic match. |
| W by Wattpad Books ebook | Good if you are continuing the series right after the first book. |
| Spanish edition | Best if you read Spanish and want Godoy's original language. |
| Audiobook | Useful if you prefer romance in a more immediate voice. |
§ 05 · FIT
Who it's for / not for
Read this if you are...
- Coming from Netflix's Through My Window films.
- Continuing Ariana Godoy's Hidalgo brothers books in order.
- Interested in family-pressure romance and class tension.
- Looking for Wattpad-origin romance with a clear English edition.
Skip it if you are...
- New to the series and unwilling to begin with Through My Window.
- Reading only for Raquel and Ares.
- Avoiding jealous, secretive, or high-drama romance dynamics.
- Looking for quiet realism or a standalone love story.
§ 06 · TIPS
Reading tips
- Read Book 1 first. Through You assumes the Hidalgo world already means something.
- Watch the class line. The romance depends on who belongs inside the house and who serves it.
- Separate adaptation demand from exact plot. The Netflix films and books do not need to line up scene by scene.
- Judge the power imbalance directly. The book is most interesting when you do not excuse it automatically.
§ 07 · COMPARE

- How does class shape what Claudia can ask for?
- What changes when the series moves away from Raquel and Ares?
- Where should a screen adaptation preserve the book's domestic pressure?
- Does Artemis earn sympathy, or does the book ask too much from the reader?
- How does Wattpad pacing affect the sequel?
- Who should read this before watching the later films?
