Have You Seen Luis Velez?
by Catherine Ryan Hyde
View in Library Catalog
book cover


3.5 stars. This was a beautiful story about intergenerational friendship that reflected the goodness (and evil) in our world. It touched on the themes of racism, sexuality, and how we form our chosen families. Just when I thought I knew what this story was about, it revealed another dimension. Simple prose but a powerful message.

Great story! As a lover of standalone books I loved that this one connected to the first but totally worked on its own. I really like how unique the books by this author are, the journeys on archeological digs are really interesting. The change of female leads were also a cool concept because of how it highlighted insecurity based on comparison.
