This Train Is Being Held

 

I saw this young adult love story told through the eyes of a Latino baseball player/poet and mixed race (if looking white and being more upscale) ballet dancer reviewed online.  They meet on the 1 subway train (NYC) and each have various issues to handle though they are loathe to be honest about each other about them.

At the beginning, I liked the voice but wondered if it would hold up for the whole way since we were soon in the middle of their relationship.  The book, however, then had a shift after her brother had a mental health setback and the two were separate for a time.  This helped bridge the story until a rather surprising action packed climax.  Overall, well done.
