Immigration… not as cut and dry as you might think. Good story and gives a different perspective.

Well written indeed. Great adventure and much information. Ending kind of anticlimactic however.

Incredible, brave story. I’m glad I read it.

Fine writing, unforgettable characters, heartbreaking theme.

Compelling characters gave a window into what it’s like to navigate an escape from cartel violence and cross the border with a coyote. Fictional but realistic story. Fell in love with the mother & son.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It has become controversial because the author is not Latina. That is irrelevant. What is important is that it conveys true emotions and the struggles of the migrants. As well as the senseless violence of the cartels.

Could have been written by a child or an AI. Don’t bother with this one.

A must read.

I have no words for the Incredible, Despicable, Incomprehensible Journey you will go on with these people. To call them Characters is too belittle them. I’m so so so glad I read this.

Beautifully written and so well done that despite how painful much of the story was, it was hard to put down. In addition it taught me an enormous amount about the trials of immigration.
