 A raw & vivid story told with so much nuance & heart, that will have you laughing out loud! It was so easy to love Darling & her friends. I really enjoyed the POV of a 10-year-old narrator, watching Darling grow up & how her perspective of America & Zimbabwe changed after migration. But I was confused by the abrupt ending.
