Read this book for school. I would rate it 3-3.5 ⭐️ There were parts of the book that Ireally loved, but other parts of the book were hard to read. I loved the main character Liliana though!!!

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of Don't Ask Me Where I'm From. I believe it will be a wonderful addition to my classroom library. A realistic story and for me a very plausible ending that is not wrapped up neat and tidy but left for the reader to consider. This one is going to stay with me for a long time, already in my top 10 of 2020.
