This is a contemporary fiction that features two narrators that of Camino Rios and Yahaira Rios who are estranged half sisters.
Camino Rios lives with her aunt in Dominican Republic while her father works in New York City and gives them money. He visits them once every summer.
Yahaira Rios lives in New York City with both her mother and father.
However, tragedy strikes when their father's plane crashes but in their grief they discover each other.
I liked how the author had two first person narratives because it makes you understand what the characters are feeling, thinking, saying and what's happening around them. I liked how it's written in verse and has Spanish words or phrases so it's authentic. It would've been even better if these had a translation in the footnote so it didn't feel like I missed part of the reading or understanding of the storyline.
I received an ebook from Netgalley.
