This book was a beautifully heartbreaking look at grief and dealing with the outing of long-kept family secrets. Camino and Yahaira were both such real and well-developed characters and I felt so deeply for them both. My only issue with this book was that I struggled a bit with the writing - I'm not used to reading in verse and this may have been smoother on audio.
