The beginning of this book is fantastic. I really got hooked in with the characters, their stories, and everything else that was going on. While I knew the basic premise of the book, the second half got a little far-fetched for me. I felt like it lost a little of what I loved in the beginning of the book.

However, the themes and discussions throughout are important. It focuses on immigration and racism and why we shouldn't consider people illegal. I'd definitely recommend it for that! And the characters.
