"Ricochet" by Julie Gonzalez follows the story of two teens, Kim and Dani, who navigate the complexities of friendship, love, and identity in a vibrant but challenging urban landscape. As they confront societal pressures and personal dilemmas, their bond is tested by secrets, heartbreak, and the quest for self-discovery. Through art and music, they explore their passions and fight against the expectations placed upon them. The narrative captures the raw emotions of adolescence while delving into themes of resilience, acceptance, and the impact of choices, ultimately highlighting the importance of standing true to oneself amidst chaos.
