Ah, YA, with your lovably flawed teens figuring out themselves and their relationships. I loved Yamilet through her mistakes, her anger, her protectiveness, her difficulty trusting people with her true self, and I especially loved her relationship with her brother. The love (and teasing) radiated off the page. Though the culture, queer identities and immigration issues may be a novel combination, they are mapped on a familiar arc.
Graphic: Homophobia and Deportation
Moderate: Racism, Suicidal thoughts, Police brutality, and Religious bigotry
