American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

4.0

I thought this fictional book was well written and honestly had me caring about what happened to multiple characters which doesn’t happen often for me. After I finished the book, I just sat there thinking about the fact that sure this is a work of fiction, but people go through this everyday to seek refuge or a better life.

It’s so sad what drove most of these characters to leave their homes and the fact that a lot of them didn’t have homes to return back to.

Overall, I liked the storytelling even if some parts were slow. I keep going back and forth from a 4 to a 5 so it’s probably a 4.5 score for me.
