This book coming from Sabaa Tahir, who wrote one of the fluffiest YA series I have read, is gut wrenching, human, and everything a novel about immigrant families in a rural white town should be. It felt a bit contrived at times in terms of everything happening at once, but the underlying theme of religion and things as they should be made it alright for me. The book spells out in plain English the reverberating complications of poverty and racism in a high school setting. Would definitely recommend this book.

It was good, but definitely way heavier than what I was anticipating. It felt depressing at times, but the writing itself was great and I especially loved how culture was at the forefront.

An emotional detailing of the failures and struggles of the American Dream: immigration issues such as racism, poverty, and missing relatives' deaths back home; generational trauma haunting you; coming to a land of promise only to see its ugly underbelly, with broken and cruel systems. It tackled a lot of topics but in an incredibly realistic and sympathetic way. Every book like this I read pushes me farther left.

The ending was so touching and made me think of

a quote: "little children, love one another," which I thought was from Little Women but is apparently from the bible lol
