American Street by Ibi Zoboi
2.0

I really wanted to love this book! However it just wasn’t what I was hoping for. Typically language does not bother me at all but I felt like it was over used and didn’t add to the story or characters. The storyline did keep me interested however I was disappointed in some of the turns and twists that occurred in the story. I wish there had been more connection to her mom’s story and what was happening as she was detained with immigration.
