Yep, it’s as good as everybody says it is.

I feel like I could stop there, but for the record: the plot is tight and compelling, the tragedy is painful but not so overwhelming you quit reading, and the characters–from Starr with her fears and doubts and struggles and courage, to her father with his anger and remorse and defiant love for his family, to Uncle Carlos, a police officer finding the line between honesty and commitment and disillusionment–are all so real you feel as if you lived in Garden Heights and walked past them every day.
