Blue sky, green trees
Good book, I liked reading it. The jump cuts between the past and present were a bit jarring, but I understand that they were necessary so that we could see the complexities of Kinga's relationship with her folks. After awhile I did find myself skimming through the parts set in the past, I wanted to get back into the story of the present!
*********SPOILER*********
The ending wrapped up a little too easily and neatly. I mean, the whole book her parents are horrified that she's dating a Turkish guy, then her father goes on a racist rant at the boyfriend - in front of everyone - and then less than 24 hours later both parents are giving the relationship their blessing? Not believable. I get that she wanted to give us a happy ending, but we deserve a believable one.

I mean it's a good book, very disturbing and sad. But I just couldn't get into it. I found myself scrolling on the internet instead of reading, and that's my sign that I need to move on to a different book.

I got through the intro and the first part of chapter 1, and that was all the doom and gloom that I could take.
