I enjoyed reading this, but I don't *feel* I liked it. There is a lack of specificity that bothered me, even as I got lost in flurry on pretty images Torres created. Moments def stayed with me, yet, I'm reading about mixed-raced boys / brothers, with an Afro-Latino or Meztico dad, who is from Brooklyn, but it reads like I'm in the rural south, in the 1950s??? Idk. Also the last 30 pages, the narrators coming out felt so unearned and out of place...
But, it works.
