Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group-Penguin Young Readers Group for a copy of this e-book.
I loved this one. It was so genuine and real. It’s a YA book, but doesn’t necessarily read like one, I definitely think young adults can and should read this one but I also highly recommend adults give this one a read as well! It covers family relationships, friendships and the pandemic (I don’t love pandemic stories but this one was good!) I loved the multiple POV and how they overlapped with one another. I enjoyed the history of Filipino people coming to America, I think it’s a story that not many people know. It was a really easy read for all of the heavy topics it did discuss. My heart feels heavy but happy after this one. 10/10 recommend!
