This book is told in verse from two fictional point of view characters, a teenage girl in DR and one in New York who both lost a father on that flight. Although Camino and Yahaira have had very different upbringings in different countries, their grief brings them together and they soon realize they have even more in common.
Not my usual genre and definitely emotional, but glad I read it. I had no idea about this second-most deadly plane crash in American history that occurred just a few months after 9/11. And that is part of Acevedo's reason for writing about it. The event rocked the worlds of the Dominican community but hardly made a dent in the mainstream news cycle after initial concerns that it was another terrorist attack were debunked.
