Regardless, I did learn a lot still, and it was extra interesting reading this book with several people who are or their parents are/were undocumented, that made this book hit so much harder.

While undocumented she has lived a fairly privileged life and seems a bit out of touch. Her preconceived notions and unhealthy attitudes inform the way she engages with others, when she could be meeting them with curiosity and an open mind instead.
I really wish the author had devoted more time to the stories of other undocumented immigrants because I actually enjoyed reading those.

This book is a mix of deeply personal fears and experiences, narrative reporting, and community building as a radical act of self-preservation and existence.
