First book of 2024! This book was very honest, informative, and candid with the added fun of cringe from the struggles of being a teen in the nineties. I took off a star because there was a weird gen z angle/lingo thing happening in the first few chapters, but that went away after a few chapters and was overshadowed by the great storytelling along the way. Highly recommend this memoir that also tackles the intricacies of undocumented status and process.
