It's just incredibly forgettable. This should have been a powerful story and strengthen your empathy for immigrants but instead I feel disconnected from the characters and annoyed by the political statement. I know going into this that politics would be addressed but when you treat your readers like idiots and have to bash them over the head with your political opinion, it just becomes tiring.
The pacing and plot was boring as well. It felt like the characters were simply reacting to their life and have no personality in the process. Once again, TRAUMA DOES NOT EQUAL PERSONALITY. Why are so many books like this
