I have to say I usually love immigrant stories: they are filled with so much promise. Sadly, that promise of a better future full of new and exciting opportunities is so rarely realized. It’s tragic but so true. I’m definitely interested in reading this one. I’ve seen it a lot at the book store and reading some reviews have led to the same conclusion: this is definitely a book worth reading.

I love when a character grows through the story, and I am always curious to see how one adapts in a new place with such cultural differences. Your review makes me even more curious to read this one!

I am glad to see you enjoyed this! I own it and had started it, but got distracted by other shiny things. I will have to pick it back up!

This does sound like a good book. I’m not sure if I’m attracted to immigrant stories necessarily, but I do like love stories.

I’m fascinated by immigrant stories, and I’m so glad to see you liked it because I won a copy of this book not too long ago. I’m looking forward to reading it.
