This is an autobiographical novel by a woman from #Curaçao whose mother brought her to the US at 13. Certainly a lot of what happens for her is affecting, but the writing is young YA, which really didn‘t work for me, and some of the naivety of the characters stretches credulity. I struggled a bit to get through this and it frankly would‘ve been a bail if I had another option for #DutchAntilles.
