Giving "Home Is Not a Country" a proper review is difficult, all I can say is that it was beautifully written yet heartbreaking as it dealt with some heavy topics such as grief and racism. I wasn't expecting the magical realism half way through but it gave the story a whole different meaning. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who enjoy books in verse.

Elhillo explores what could have been by going into the past. Nima's afraid she's disappearing, but maybe she just needs to confront what got her to where she is. There are gorgeous lines in this book, and you're sucked in right from the beginning.
