I really wanted to love this book. It touches on how undocumented people/ people of color have always been used as medical experiments for the US. How we can not trust government officials, the difficulties of being queer and POC, and being in a new country. 
But it fell just a bit short, I wanted it expanded on more, flushed out. The ending just feels like “welp, that’s that on that” 
Anyway, loved the concept, wasn’t the happiest with the execution
