It's not the kind of book I can recommend to everyone. (Trigger Warnings for so many things, friends.) But it is the kind of story that I'm glad was published.

We Are Not From Here was full of trauma and heart break. 💔 It was a raw, real, heavy, and incredibly important book. In it, Sanchez wrote about the neverending trials of three kids from Guatemala, who went on their journey for freedom and safety. I'm not a big cryer, but I wept as horrible injustices were told page after page, chapter after chapter. All I wanted to do, the entire time, was hug the main characters. 💓😠I wanted to be able to look them in the eye and truthfully tell them that everything would be okay - that they mattered. That their life and feelings and family and history all mattered.
When y'all pick up this book (because you NEED TO), make sure to take breaks to breathe. It's another book that I encourage you to read with others. Shout-out to the @the.storygraph for its spoiler free buddy reads and thanks to @bookclusion for organizing the read with @stories_and_sweaters & @lizzy0305! 🤗
