Mona Passage is the story of two neighbors in San Juan, Puerto Rico, one is Galan Betances a Cuban emigrant, and the other is Pat McAllister a young Coast Guard officer. They spend time together on a rooftop and get to know each other and a friendship develops based on shared traumas from their past. Later Galan learns that his sister, Gabriela, is going to be committed to a mental health facility in Cuba, so he plans her escape to Puerto Rico. Pat, whose Coast Guard cutter patrols the Mona Passage for drug traffickers and migrants, warns Galan that such a journey will be really dangerous. I really enjoyed the story. The characters are very well-written and have great personalities. The settings were interesting and you could really feel the tension at times when stuff was getting real. I enjoyed reading things from alternate perspectives as it gives you a chance to really understand what the characters are feeling.
