The Only Road

this was a very enlightening read, i would say. even though it’s a middle grade (?) novel, i felt like i really learned a lot about what people face as they immigrate to the united states. obviously this just skimmed the surface, but it was very interesting to read about.
the characters felt real and relatable, despite us being from completely different backgrounds. something that was also portrayed in this book was the lack of options the characters had. like, jaime and ángela had literally no choice but to flee guatemala or they would be killed. a lot of the time i think people say like “oh why couldn’t they just do it the legal way” but this really showed how that’s often not an option. i don’t know. anyway.
good. 10/10.
