Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet

5.0

I found this book really powerful in portraying a combination of struggles and identity in what is basically a coming of age story, with a happy ending, but also an analysis of Cuban-American society. The backdrop of the Ariel Hernandez story - from a Cuban-American perspective - provides extra angles and extra nuances to what is already an important look at the struggles of a first-generation college student.
