The Leavers by Lisa Ko

3.0

3.5* A topical story for the current state of immigration related affairs in the USA. To see the story unfold from the perspective of Deming and Polly together, see it separate and then come together again was great. This book has a happy ending but most of the real life stories don’t. The beginning of this book dragged, I understand the set up but the first 25% is quite slow. After that the story and its characters gain more dimension and the pay off feels worthwhile.
