This novel brought to mind what ICE is currently doing in this country. The story is heartbreaking with a mother and son trying desperately to escape the horrors of Cartel violence and certain death. Many people have been lost, killed and broken while making this or similar journeys. 4.75/5⭐️

It‘s an incredibly interesting, well-researched , eye opening story of the journey of migrants . A beautifully heartbreaking/hopefully story, rich in characters who keep you on the edge of your seat .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Highly recommended.

A truly great and moving book that had me on the edge of my seat at times and close to tears at others. I would highly recommend this book, especially in times like these, when immigration is such a widely discussed topic in the media. This book tells the stories of the people behind the numbers.

Mehso-so

I told myself I would never read this but I am so starved for in person book chat I thought why not. And that is totally on me. I didn‘t care for it. Can‘t wait for bookclub tomorrow.

AmyG I bailed on this. I get it. 2y
Prairiegirl_reading This is how I ended up reading The Goldfinch. It‘s my most hated book of all time! My book club met on zoom through 2020 and I told them I wanted my time back even my 2020 time that‘s how much I disliked it. The sacrifices we make for book club eh? Lol!! 2y
BarbaraBB Even my 2020 time lol 😜 @Prairiegirl_reading (edited) 2y

Cathythoughts I bailed on this one 😐 2y
CarolynM Thanks for validating my decision not to read it😆 2y
batsy Yeah, not on my list 😆 Have you read the reviews by Myriam Gurba and Parul Sehgal? So good! 2y
sarahbarnes I share your sentiments on this one. 2y
Centique Like @CarolynM said. Thank you for taking one for the team! 😘 2y
Suet624 I‘ve been able to avoid this one. 2y
Reggie @Prairiegirl_reading @AmyG @BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts @CarolynM @batsy @sarahbarnes @Centique @Suet624 the librarian who picked it framed the author as being a victim of cancel culture and it went down hill from there. Someone said it was just jealousy and other people were so upset on her behalf. I was the only dissenter and it was quite the ride for an hour. lol however, it didn‘t mean we left the meeting as enemies and that‘s why I really 👇🏼 2y
Reggie like this group even though the books they‘ve picked so far aren‘t my thing. Some of the stuff they say is hilarious. There are two guys who love to take one thing and run way far away off topic until this very old lady who I like, Dolores will slam her book and say let‘s get back to the book. Just fun stuff. 2y
Prairiegirl_reading @BarbaraBB lol! That‘s what I said while leaning in to my zoom camera! Lol! I really hated that book. 2y
Prairiegirl_reading @Reggie I‘m glad you found a group you enjoy!! Even if the books aren‘t your favourites. 😊 2y
Suet624 Like @Prairiegirl_reading said, I‘m glad you found a group you enjoy to hang with. Clearly you have a lot more patience than I do. I might be grinding my teeth as they talked about cancel culture. 2y
BarbaraBB That‘s wonderful Reggie! To have found such a group and to be so open minded ❤️ 2y
BarbaraBB @Prairiegirl_reading I must remember that, it‘s hilarious even though it is sad of course 2y
Centique Oh wow - starting off by saying shes a victim of cancel culture. That was really setting the tone! I wonder if theyve read Yellow Face yet - that would raise a few more complicated questions 🙄 Well done you for enjoying the group dynamic - im glad they can disagree without it getting personal 👍💕 2y
Rissreadswithcats Dolores sounds fabulous! ♥️ 2y
