Thank you so much to MacMillan audio for the gifted copy of this book! 

First off, how gorgeous is this cover?! Just by looking at it you can tell how connected Ander & Santi are and their emotional connection. I definitely fell in love with the cover before I started listening to this book. 

Ander is an artist who has taken a gap year and has plans to move to Chicago to pursue art but that all changes when he meets his replacement, Santiago, at his family's restaurant and as his time gets close where he needs to leave. He has to decide if it's worth risking it all for love. 

I thought Garza Villa's description of the fears that undocumented Mexicans and the emotions were describe felt so raw for both Ander and Santi. 

But overall this fell short for me. I really loved the beginning but then the story started to drag and it became really slow for me. So much would happen and then I'd look at my phone and I would still have hours left to go. My review is an exception as others have had a different reaction that is more favorable so please do not take in account only my review.

I did love the representation that was in the book and think it is important to continuously have queer love stories especially those in the Latin & Hispanic community. 

The book was narrated by actor Avi Roque who I thought did a wonderful drop bringing the characters alive. 

The writing itself was beautiful & I would read another one of Jonny's book and I am looking forward to a future author q&a with them that I have coming up.
