(4) YA Stand-in parent Grace wants to protect her younger brother Alex from a dangerous Miami gang. Then her first love, former gang member Mateo, returns; although Grace doesn't trust Mateo, she thinks he might be able to dissuade Alex from gang life. While characterizations are fairly one-note in this high-stakes romance, Grace's struggle to balance family responsibilities with her own goals and desires is compelling.
