Absolutely wonderful and heartfelt. Three young men so misunderstood and down the wrong paths, but they each find their way, but not all end happily. Very moving characters.

I‘m feeling so fortunate to have met Matt de la Pena & heard his personal journey & his reading of his newest book, Love. He then had a personal conversation with everyone who brought books to be signed. What a wonderful experience. #teachersoflitsy I hope you have some/all of his books in your class library.

Tamra Such a beautiful book! 6y
Cakeypal I love that book. It‘s inclusiveness and sweetness especially. 6y

This reminds me of so many of my male students. The look I get when I tell them they can take a book for the weekend. At the same time, one of my best readers picked up the habit when he was locked up. So much truth in this book.

This book was really thought provoking. I enjoyed seeing the world from Miguel's POV. I LOVE Rondell. He is hilarious. The only thing I didn't like about it was how they didn't say what happened to Diego until the end. It wasn't necessary.

Glad to be out of my Young Adult reading slump (thanks to all the dystopia out there). This was an excellent read. Awesome character development and story.
