This novel was fantastic! It was so interesting to see all of the different points of views surrounding Wopper's deportation--a great way to introduce the audience to the complexities discussed within this book. Mija, for me, is the most interesting character in the novel, and makes it worth reading. It's also a wonderful Chicanx novel, which is always a plus.

Great start, weak finish. Many things left unanswered.

I read this book for English class sophomore year. It wasn't anything I ever would have chosen to read on my own, but I thought it was an enticing and enjoyable read, especially as an assignment. My go-to is cute romance and feel-good, fun books. This definitely is more complex and action-packed than I'm used to, but the plot kept me interested. I also really enjoyed the constant POV switches, they added a lot to the story. A good read if you're looking for something a little deeper and filled with plot twists.
