So far the book has revolved around two seperate sets of characters: Estrella's family and the cousins. I think that these two sets of individuals are going to become intertwined. It makes perfect sense. Otherwise, why would she mention them? Estrella seems to be the main focus of her family, with the majority of the time being spent discussing her. The two cousins seem to have equal attention played to them, but I bet that one of them will become more of an emphasis as the novel progresses. I briefly remember reading something about young love, so perhaps Estrella and one of the cousins will fall in love. I would guess that this will be forbidden, as Petra, Estrella's mother, doesn't really allow her to have much freedom. Maybe this will take on a Romeo and Juliet theme of forbidden, young love. I foresee a bitter ending. I definitely don't think this will have a happily ever after vibe. The book seems too sorrowful to do a complete turn around in mood.
