2.5

I found this author absolutely insufferable. She makes so many cringey statements and comes across as quite judgmental. 

While undocumented she has lived a fairly privileged life and seems a bit out of touch. Her preconceived notions and unhealthy attitudes inform the way she engages with others, when she could be meeting them with curiosity and an open mind instead. 

I really wish the author had devoted more time to the stories of other undocumented immigrants because I actually enjoyed reading those.
