I loved the art style and enjoyed the story. I liked how Ha used color palette to indicate when she was returning to the past and how she wove her mother's story into her own. Overall, a very raw and emotional story.

anniefwrites's review against another edition

emotional hopeful reflective sad tense fast-paced

An important and often heartbreaking story of immigration and struggling to fit in. The emotions were so potent that I sometimes found it difficult to read, but I found the hopeful ending to be a welcome relief. This is a great firsthand account of just how difficult it can be when coming to America, especially when you don't know English.
