A review by sakeriver
A River of Stars by Vanessa Hua

It took me a little while to get into this book but when I was in I was all the way in. I think the depiction of the anxieties and fears of an undocumented immigrant was important, not least because it’s part of a conversation of immigrant stories that are and ought to be diverse. But I think what I liked most as a reader was just that none of the characters turned out to be who I thought at first, and in the best way.
