I loved this book for both the story and the writing style which felt easy to read and whimsical at times but really brought the characters alive. I adored the twins (+ Guillermo and Oscar) so was invested in their stories and found myself getting emotional alongside them. I also feel my interest was maintained by the metaphorical/?magical realism elements and the the two perspectives at slightly different time points.
