In this second volume, we empathize with Marina's fears and anxieties. She is the middle kid and sometimes that can be overwhelming when Marina starts to think she isn't as cool as the others or loved as the little ones. Her fears take over but I love that through communication, getting together as a family can help sort things out. I love how the moms dealt with and understood this situation. It's important to communicate, not all answers are in books or explicit. I relate to this volume a lot and to some of Marina's feelings and actions. 
On top of all their anxieties, Marina feels different from the others for being the only part-Mexican.
I won this book during a giveaway hosted by the publisher.
