deafenweenie 's review for:
American Street
by Ibi Zoboi
Wow this book went in a completely different direction then I expected. Before reading this book I read Ibi Zoboi's other book Pride which is the type of book I thought I was going to be reading with American Street. This book while funny and cute was also dark, haunting, and real. This book is about family and the lengths you will go to protect them. Hattian culture was a great add to the story. I loved learning about the culture it really expanded the world of the characters for me. I thought the dynamic between the three B's was a strong one. They all really care for each other and will have each others back no matter what. I wished that I had got to learn more about the detainment of her mom and U.S. immigration. I enjoyed this story immensely and I'm looking forward to reading more of Zoboi's books.
