Running by Natalia Sylvester


Mariana Ruiz's dad is running for president.  She is proud of him, proud of her heritage of Cuban-American, but she doesn't always do what he wants her to do.  Things used to be different, he doesn't seem like himself anymore.  They used to go to the beach to clean up because they wanted to.  Now it seems it is a publicity stunt, but not for her.  As she deals with her dad's campaign, her best friend has to move to Miami Beach because her parents are separating, she is getting portrayed by the media as against her father and her family seems "off".  Mari starts wondering if she wants her dad to win or not.  

This book seemed really slow to me.  I had to make myself finish.  Would I pick it up again.  No, but others may enjoy it as a look into life of a family in politics and it is based on treated sewer water being dumped into aquifers in 2018.
