Americanized: Rebel Without a Green Card by Sara Saedi

3.0

2.5 stars. There was something so off about the narrative style. We spent so much time in her angsty, self-absorbed tween and teen years, which I understand are in marked contrast to the reality of being undocumented. It just went on and on. Even when I zoomed on with a 30 minute read, the silly tone kept on in the middle and end of the book. Too much time spent on side stories and not enough pull of her story as an undocumented future Iranian American. I wanted to like this so much more than I actually did.
