Messy Roots: A Graphic Memoir of a Wuhanese-American by Laura Gao

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Laura Gao moves from Wuhan, China to live in Texas when she was five. Since then she felt like she could never fit in. Moving from home is hard, but trying to fit into the American Identity is even harder -  Missing home constantly and most of all trying to find a group of people who understand and just get you is also quite a task. Laura Gao did an amazing job with this memoir. From wonderfully drawn illustrations to a story that'll bring you to tears. Overall, it felt like a confirmation that it's okay if its hard to find where you fit into. 

Note: There isn't a star rating for this book from me, largely because it feels weird to rate someone's life on a five star scale.
