This book is a quick and impactful read. Narrated by Cara Romero, an immigrant navigating the 2008 recession, it's filled with vivid anecdotes full of humour. Being a second-generation immigrant myself, Cara's perspective on life reminded me of my loved ones, bringing me closer to the narrative. It's refreshing to see a character from this demographic take center stage in fiction. Excited for more from this author!
