Fantastic read, especially for a debut novel. Andrés N. Ordorica masterfully illustrates navigating identity, grief, and growth through Daniel’s journey. I had to put the book down at times from the weight of the substance. I felt the climax of the book was a little rushed/something wasn’t quite there, but the finale and themes were strong.
