Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet

2.0

This book started out strong for me. The scenario of going off to college in a culturally different environment is partly my story, too. But the story veered off for me when it spent so much time on the Ariel Hernandez incident. Yes, I know it was important to the MC, but it wasn't important enough to me as a reader. It wasn't the MC's concern, but the concern of her mother and her mother's community - too far removed from the character we really were interested in.
