An absolutely lovely book about generational trauma, immigration, racism, language barriers, poverty, and growing up in the US. I love the way this book is written and how the author portrays Kim. I love the artistry in that we get a glimpse into what it’s like to learn English as a second language.
This story is moving, heart wrenching, and wholesome. I loved everything about it.
