A fascinating and topical read in 2024, one month before the US presidential election where immigration is a top issue.  This felt like a very real immigration story - it was neither the worst or best case scenario (but that probably depends on who you ask).  Imbolo Mbue is a fantastic writer, her character development is so great.  I listened along with the audio as I read the words on the page - the audiobook is amazing.  Prentice Onayemi was a wonderful narrator, his performance is a major reason why I really, really enjoyed this book.
