“She knew I hated being called white boy. Even though I was technically a white boy, I was raised in a Mexican family. So I didn’t qualify as your average white boy. “
“The B word is the N-word for girls. I hate that. What kind of feminist are you, anyway? “
“One of the great things about Sam was that she didn’t throw like a girl. “
“You know, for a gay guy, my dad was pretty straight. “
“And Fito’s such a schizophrenic dork. “
These direct quotes….speak for themselves 🙃. I can’t believe this is the same author who wrote 2 of my favorite books.

What a beautiful story about loss and grief and family and love. Benjamin Alire Sáenz's words fill me with indescribable emotion. I loved all of the characters, I loved their relationships. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I still feel like Salvador in many ways - all this anger or fear as Vicente calls it, and nowhere to put it. No understanding of where I'm heading. Sam is so utterly herself it's enviable. Fito is such a shining light. Vicente and Mima are the best family anyone could ask for. A wonderful reminder about tenderness.
