maggiecarr 's review for:

American Street by Ibi Zoboi
4.0

"If there were no blood vessels, no rib cage, no muscles holding up my heart to where it beats in my chest, it would have fallen out onto the floor."

"But then I realized that everyone is climbing their own mountain here in America. They are tall and mighty and they live in the heart and everyday lives of the people."

Intense. I would have liked it a bit more of an ending but it was written with unknowns and the vagueness at the end speaks volumes in itself.
