Camino grew up in Dominican Republic where poverty is rife and most teens end up pregnant early like her friend and lives with Tià her auntie who's a healer. She's also in trouble being pestered by a certain man...
Yahaira is a chess player who made her dad proud winning tournament's and is a proud lesbian with her supportive girlfriend Dre always by her side.
When a man dies, to each of them he's their father, they come to terms with the huge change in their separate lives as everything alters.
Then they discover each other, the biggest shock of all through their father's papers and will and connect online as their father's body gets flown back to Dominican Republic for burial.
This was a great story from the start each girl has a strong character from feisty to bold and each their father's daughter who adored their time with him. I liked how they connected online and accept each other as well as helping too especially when a dangerous situation arose too for Camino. An original idea sparked from a real event the tragedy brings the girls together and it was handled very well. Another fabulous verse book from Elizabeth.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
