A dazzling, heartbreaking page-turner destined for breakout status: a novel that gives voice to millions of Americans as it tells the story of the love between a Panamanian boy and a Mexican girl: teenagers living in an apartment block of immigrant families like their own.
After their daughter Maribel suffers a near-fatal accident, the Riveras leave México and come to America. But upon settling at Redwood Apartments, a two-story cinderblock complex just off a highway in Delaware, they discover that Maribel's recovery-the piece of the American Dream on which they've pinned all their hopes-will not be easy. Every task seems to confront them with language, racial, and cultural obstacles. At Redwood also lives Mayor Toro, a high school sophomore whose family arrived from Panamà fifteen years ago. Mayor sees in Maribel something others do not: that beyond her lovely face, and beneath the damage she's sustained, is a gentle, funny, and wise spirit. But as the two grow closer, violence casts a shadow over all their futures in America. Peopled with deeply sympathetic characters, this poignant yet unsentimental tale of young love tells a riveting story of unflinching honesty and humanity that offers a resonant new definition of what it means to be an American. An instant classic is born.

说到美国人,并不是每个人眼前都会浮现出不同肤色的面孔。可美国确是由这些肤色各异，文化各异，背景各异的移民组成的。这本书讲述南美裔美国移民的故事，在那个社会，他们是“不为人知”的美国人。可他们却真真实实地追求着自己每一个的美国梦。

评分关于移民现状不偏不倚的呈现
评分这本书整体基调都是有些忧伤压抑的，描述了一些移民的棕种人在美国的生活。此书过于着重于写一段teen love，并没有期待之中对移民这个群体和移民文化的分析和反思。而且书中出现了许多只出现一次的人物，对于描述移民这个多元化的群体有帮助，但是显得有些零散。最后的结尾的感觉跟a thousand splendid suns有点相似，但是抑郁还是盖过了希望。
评分几个星期听完了audiobook...讲真不听的话要看好久好久。挺喜欢的一本书，其中的移民和家庭描写相当真实。特别是学了一年西语之后听上去很有成就感。好多次被戳到，几次在公交车上lowkey红了眼眶，结局有一点点故作鸡汤。以及并不喜欢americans这个帽子。
