A young adult novel in verse that touches on so many important and heartfelt issues. Ana and Leandro are both immigrants to California. Ana has been unhoused for a while but she dreams of living in a home with her mother some day. Leandro and his therapy dog work at a bakery, but he dreams of overcoming his fears someday and being hopeful for the future. When the two teenagers meet is is electric and they find themselves filled with hope and joy. They work through fears, realize how much they care about their environment and work together to start a rewilding club at their high school. But will things from their past come back to haunt them and the future they have started to build together? Touching and well written. It's a quick read and pages alternate between the two lovebirds.
