We Are All We Have by Marina Budhos
4.0
This was a tender and extremely moving YA romance between Rania and Carlos, two undocumented teens sent to a detention camp by ICE officials. When they break out and embark on a summer road trip, they can't help falling in love as they avoid the harsh realities of their life as unwelcome, unofficial citizens of the United States.
While Muslim Rania is seeking asylum with her mother and younger brother from their abusive father, Carlos is a Mexican immigrant who finds himself without any options other than escaping to Canada where he has a relative willing to take him in.
Perfect for fans of Somewhere between bitter and sweet or Sia Martinez and the moonlit beginning of everything. This was good on audio narrated by Ferah Merani and does a great job putting a relatable, human face on the American immigration problem. Many thanks to @prhaudio for a complimentary ALC in exchange for my honest review! This will definitely be on the top of my YA reads this year!!
