i didn't realize when i picked this up that the setting was fictional, so when i reached that conclusion i was fairly disappointed. i think that even then, it had a lot of potential, and i liked some aspects such as the realities of immigration and familial separation. but it fell short with writing that was seemed clinical and a less than impactful ending.
