 A Slow Buner

Ari and Dante are Mexican a American Boys growing up in time before smart phones. Staring at a swim at a pool and becoming friends since they interact with each others lives, no matter how different they are amongst their similarities, as each goes through trails. Ari coming to terms with himself and his brother being in prison and Dante openly gay. The pair stick with each through it all.

Over all the book I really slow paced. At times I needed to stop to pick up a more faster pace book. But I am glad I got through it as it is a rewarding read to get through.
