This was so fantastic and focused on so many important elements without feeling heavy or like it was trying to slam too much in without any cohesion. 

I hated the older brother. I thought he WAS as fake as Ignacio said and was actually kind of the worst. I wish it had shown some growth or awareness there, but it’s not the end of the world.

I think this did a really great job of focusing on a very specific and fraught time in American history while also honing in on just this story. 

It was a great read.
