This was a wonderful read. There were many sad parts but there was also cute/funny parts along with hopefulness. I loved all the characters and how they all grew/interacted with each other. The ending left me with a feeling of hope for the characters especially with Hng and her brother and Hng with Leroy.

As a person with five siblings, this hit hard. Beautiful, heartwarming, and relatable to anyone with younger sibling's. My biggest worry is that I will grow apart from my siblings, or that we'll have unhealth relationships in the future. This is book was the best and worst thing I could read, especially considering what my older brother is going through. It was a bit hard to get through, and got a bit slow a points. But that makes since, as it's not supposed to be very action packed. I obviously cried at the end- that was expected.
Beautiful, elegant, and heartbreaking/warming.

I couldn’t get into the characters or writing style….I felt distant from them all despite sharing similar stories. Just wasn’t for me
