Sweet, lovely, teen angsty book. Story of a friendship between two bright, sweet boys who are struggling with some very real issues and who move apart and together. I love the way they talk to each other (and hate when they don't!). Both feel like outsiders and their friendship makes them feel just a little more like they belong. I especially loved the way they talked about their Mexican culture.

Kudos to the author for this unusual plot line! I really liked how the characters grew in this novel.
I found myself being so much similar to Ari's character except for the... Well, you'll know what I mean when you read it. Most of all, I really liked the theme of stargazing when they have problems, because it's also my thing.

Very good coming-of-age novel! So much feelings for this...

I am enchanted by this book. It was so good. Everything about it feels just right.
I love how it deals with identity: ethnic identity, friend idenity, identity within a family, sexual identity and finally identity as a person, as in knowing who we are and what we want out of life.

Pense que iba a ir sobre filosofía pero es la historia de un par de chavales en una ciudad por ahi.

Es una historia de niños convirtiéndose en hombres, y de aprender a ser tu mismo.

Esta escrito en primera persona y la cantidad de introspección del protagonista es lo que mas me ha gustado, la trama es realmente una excusa para avanzar su mundo interior, ahi es donde el verdadero drama esta ocurriendo.
