This book is one of the saddest I’ve ever read. It shows the reality of refugees and treatment in detention centres. This story is so heartbreakingly real. Honestly this is a must read to anyone and everyone it tells such sad realities in a fictious manner. The multi perspective of Kenny, Jonna and Ana gives insight and shows every side of a narrative.

I wish the ending was different but I respect that it is a reflection of reality, and I am glad I read this, and am now a fraction more aware of things I was uneducated about.
