A review by boogiebeez
Lucy and Linh by Alice Pung
5.0
WHY IS THIS RATED SO LOW. this was one of the best coming of age YA books ive read ever .
an honest view on private schools and the strange society they contain, lucy is the endearing and distinctive narrator. this book largely talks about immigration, immigrants, (specifically Asians), the isolation of immigrant communities from the rest of the country (the book is based in Australia), and the dishonest "equal access" programs many unversities and private schools have to boast the fact 20% of their students are people of color and then give them huge educational disadvantages (sorry dont mind that ramble.) i cant say enough good things about this gem. thank you mrs. pung !!! <3 (also RICHARD MARR <3333)
