Right away I was blown away by the audiobook narrator Frankie Corzo. I immediately went to my favorite audiobook bookstore, Libro Fm to pick up a copy to read in the car because that is where I am spending a lot more of my time recently.

Running is a look that greatly surprised me! I had not been aware of this new release back in July until I saw all of bookstagram, the bookish corner of the instagram, raving about Natalia Sylvester’s debut. With time Mariana realizes that you need to fight for what you believe even if it can cause tensions your family because the issues that matter most will impact more than yourself. Tensions rise in the Ruiz family when Mariana learns more about the basis of her father’s campaign and as she begins to find her voice. As the Ruiz’s family begins to be more in the media, Mariana realizes that she is not fond of the added attention, specifically when an interview team comes to their home to peer deeply into their lives.

Mariana has gotten used to being the daughter of a senator but that all changes when her Dad runs to be the GOP party nominee for president. Running tells the story of Mariana Ruiz who is a Cuban American teenager and also the daughter of Florida’s Republican Senator Anthony Ruiz. Running is a debut young adult novel from Peruvian American author Natalia Sylvester.
