really liked it

A moving coming of age debut featuring a Puerto Rican teen girl and her brother as they navigate life in suburban American during the 1950s and 60s. This book tackles racism, the Vietnam war, parental abandonment and mental health and was great on audio. I look forward to reading more by this author!
