Come On In: 15 Stories About Immigration and Finding Home by Adi Alsaid

4.0

I'm participating in the pre-publication blog tour for this book, so I'm very grateful to ...Hear Our Voices BT for giving me the chance to be part of this movement and also for allowing me to talk about a book with such important content as this one.

This is a very powerful book that shows you some stories told by authors from around the world who have experienced themselves or their families through immigration due to different factors and they reflect it in each of these fictional stories. I really loved it, I really enjoyed the experience of reading each story and being able to learn more about the immigration experiences of many families from different parts of the world, I think that reading this book is a process that will open your eyes in some way and It really puts you in the shoes of each one of them, being able to feel all the emotions that surround their stories. Such great work!

I've decided to do something different with this review since it's special, so what I'll do is share with you a series of mini-experiences and mini-thoughts of most of the stories, which I wrote as soon as I finished reading each one of them, in this way, I hope I can give you my honest and real thoughts in a brief but clear and above all, super respectful way. Also, I'll share with you several gifs in this review since I promised to do Review in 5 Gifs, but if you've already read my reviews in the past you know that I LOVE adding gifs, so this will not be something new & last but not least, I'll be giving an #ownvoices Reflection on my more detailed thoughts on the story "Family Everything" by Yamile Saied Mendez, since as an Argentine myself, it's the story that I can connect the most and feel identified with.

Before starting, I want to clarify that I've never experienced immigration myself, but some of my family members did, as I think in most Latinx families, so I can give my opinion from that side and also above all, I want to focus on my country as such and in my people, customs and culture.
