mytileneve's review against another edition
I have no words to describe this book so instead I'll just leave a quote that really touched me from the Acknowledgements here:
"Immigrating to a new country is an act of hope, bravery, and, sometimes, desperation. I’d like to say a big thank-you to all the people who’ve made long journeys to distant shores for whatever reason. May you find what you’re looking for. Always know that the country of your destination is better for having you in it."

This book had some really great moments. I loved Natasha's character, loved her determination and doggedness in trying to change her fate. It was so heartbreaking to read her circumstances, especially in light of current events. I loved Daniel, and loved the way their meeting sparked changes that changed his course, and changed so many other courses.
