This book is one of the saddest I’ve ever read. It shows the reality of refugees and treatment in detention centres. This story is so heartbreakingly real. Honestly this is a must read to anyone and everyone it tells such sad realities in a fictious manner. The multi perspective of Kenny, Jonna and Ana gives insight and shows every side of a narrative.

This will haunt me, as it should. Important stories, deftly told. Special shout out to the use of poetry v prose.
