American Dirt was an incredible novel that I was not prepared for. It was intense, but also so real at the same time. The author did a great job with her attention to detail and storytelling of Lydia and Luca's story. I spent the entire book on the edge of my seat, knowing that horrible things would keep happening and hoping it wouldn't be the last straw.
