Nancy Jooyoun Kim tells the important, emotional experience of being an immigrant in the US. I love books that move between two story lines, one is of Margot who is trying to make sense of her mother's death and the other about Mina, who came to the US with the hope of making a better, safer life for her daughter. Kimm explores the seemingly start contrast between Mina's life and how Margot navigates the world, as someone who was raised in the US, but reveals they have more in common than they think. The writing and pace of the book is one of its strongest aspects and it's a necessary read for anyone who aims to be more empathetic and understand the world through diverse lenses.
