oozing in nostalgia that you can personally feel even if your live is very different from the author’s / the protagonist. quick read-in-a-day vignettes that make me remember why people feel so called to write and make me happy i get to read their words

I'd give this book a 3.5
The inconsistent and slightly incoherent prose seemed difficult to follow initially but turned out to be the very core of the charm of this book. Through a somewhat child-like perspective, we see the flawed society at its very heart, a view of the society through the eyes of immigrants, or maybe a third-culture kid...it was interesting, frustrating, sad, and hopeful.
