Infinite Country

This is an unpopular opinion alert. I saw so many rave reviews for this one so I snagged it as my BOTM one month. Sadly, this was disappointing.

I went into this one expecting to read about a family's journey and hardships in dealing with America and it's immigration roadblocks. While the family's story is extremely sad and heartbreaking, the writing is bland and overly full of flowery details, which takes away from the core message.

The characters themselves are flat and boring and I felt absolutely no connection to them at all. I was honestly expecting to see more of Talia's story since this one started off so strongly, with her at the forefront. I also felt like this one should have been a lot longer in order to flesh out both the story and the characters.

For such a short book, this was a struggle to get through, let alone even wanting to pick up and read. I know so many others have loved this one, so if you've been eyeing it, still give it a try. You may end up enjoying it more than I did.
