The Broke Hearts by Matt Mendez

5.0

Whoa. Look for this at award season - consummately crafted without feeling crafted at all; much about fatherhood and responses to trauma; love and friendship and art. El Paso setting; Loteria cards as a way to discuss character types and themes but also as a way to point out that everyone is El Borracho sometimes, everyone is El Pescado a veces letting their mouth get them in trouble, El Valiente can be anyone big or little. YA/adult crossover.
