Pedro and Daniel by Federico Erebia follows the friendship of two brothers as they encounter abuse, colorism, racism, and homophobia, both together as well as on their own. The POV switches throughout the book between the two brothers, so we as readers get to develop a sense of their voices and who they are as people, from the age of five up to adulthood. I loved these two characters and their bond so much. They endured so much harm throughout their lives and I was rooting so hard for them not just to survive, but to thrive and experience true joy. I also enjoyed reading the dichos, or proverbs, interwoven throughout the text.
