It's hard not to think of my own life as an immigrant American while reading this book. Maddie went through so much that I related to yet, so much that I didn't. The author did an excellent job writing the multilayered relationship between Maddie’s family. This is coming of age story with a character that's easy to love, but as readers, wants to protect. It touches on important topics such as race, sexuality, female pleasure, familial love, office dynamics, and more.

5/5 stars!
