A review by maricatlovr
Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution in the Americas by Roberto Lovato

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

4.75

i cried a lot reading this, reflecting on my own immigrant parents and my relationships with them. i also cried for the people that Lovato writes about, grieving for those that have died. the way that Lovato writes is very honest and the diction he uses makes it feel as if he's casually talking to you about the most gruesome parts of central American history, atrocities that continue to happen now. i took off 0.25 because i don't know how i feel about the mix and match timelines he writes on, it's cool but confusing at times.
