Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Audio for the free audiobook in exchange for my honest review. Eddie Lopez does a fantastic job narrating this story! I highly recommend the audiobook!

This is a well written novel that explores what it means to be a Mexican-American living on the border between the USA and Mexico. There is so much going on in the book which I would classify as a coming of age story. The author explores familial relationships, social perceptions, success, failure, and the glaring disparity in socio-economic conditions between the USA and Mexico. The writing pulls you in so adeptly that you can hear, smell and see the story. Excellent!
