American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

5.0

I feel pretty conflicted about my rating of this book. After learning more about the author and reading some reviews of Latinx people, I’m seeing how much this book is catered to me, as a white woman with zero previous information of the immigrant experience and how problematic that is.

I’m keeping my rating at five stars because for me this is just a starting point and I did enjoy the storytelling. Thank you to other reviewers for suggesting other books.
