Book was recommended to me by a colleague. I can see the appeal for young people, and I think it’s important for them to have access to books like this one. I might’ve loved the book more if I was the target audience.

I liked this! It was sweet, easy read. Lin Manual was a good audio book narrator. I like the characters, they are both really sweet. Idk what the story graph question means if the cast of characters is diverse, do they mean many characters? Then no. If they mean are there racially diverse characters, yes bc it's about 2 Mexican boys and their Mexican families.
