Although it took me some time to get through this one, I did enjoy it. Ko was able to show me a different culture, an alternate point of view, and help me understand struggles I have never dealt with personally.

just finished reading these two beautiful, gut-wrenching books #shermanalexie #lisako
Guess what! Grown ups get free books when they sign up for their library's #summerreadingprogram too! Thanks @hillsborolibrary

This book is a fantastic #OwnVoices narrative that's essentially an inquisition of how abandonment, no matter the form, plays a huge part in the cultural identity crisis for a #Chinese boy, which is further inflamed by his adoptive white parents who move him into the suburbs & force him to assimilate into white culture laced w/ racist white privilege. It's a profound, raw experience of diaspora in America today. 4/5. ❤️ #theleavers #lisako
The prose is positively stunning.
