This is a YA, LGBTQ, Afro-Latinx Contemporary story that follows three teenagers living in New Jersey and is told in alternating first person perspectives.
I really enjoyed this story and loved the way Spanish was incorporated into the book. Each character tackled a unique set of challenges but relied on the friendship and family in their small group.
I’d like to thank Hear Our Voices book tours and also Levine Quierido for sending me The Girl, The Ring and The Baseball Bat by Camille Gomera-Tavarez, which is described as a magical, hilarious and whip smart Outsiders for the modern day. This is my honest review.
