This book, ahh what can I say, it is as informative as it is interesting and real. To be a woman, to be an immigrant, to be a young adult, forced to face much of reality and its truths alone. Its pacing and emotional expression is both clear and quaint. I can see this life she lives, I can connect to it in its sadness and its inspiration. Its as cautionary as it is necessary and familiar, seeing life through Ana's life.
