American Street by Ibi Zoboi
5.0

Wow. This novel was just incredible. Fabiola is a tough and lovable main character and Zoboi's inclusion of the Haitian tradition of voodoo was an authentic touch that added some magic and personality to the story. This is a powerful immigration narrative that deals with family, loss, and the idea the expectation of the American Dream doesn't always match up with the reality. My heart was broken by this book but I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
