yeimyaileen's review against another edition
4.0
i (regretfully) tend to hate a lot of books centered around american latinx characters, but i found the ramirez family to be so real and fresh.
what happened to ruthy ramirez is the story of the family ruthy left when she mysteriously disappeared after track practice almost 20 years ago. this book is crazy but concise, and is so careful to reveal itself to you. i was so stressed by the last two chapters, thinking i would not get the answer i needed. but the final chapter went so hard.
""I knew that whatever was happening was so terrifying and gross that Jess could not mention it to me, and I could not mention that I knew it was happening to her. And we grew up that way, knowing and not knowing all at once"
