I don't think I have ever read a book that touched me so much in my life. I was captured from page one to the end page. I really was shocked how i felt some connected to the people real lives ever. It thought it really not only opened my eyes to the truth about cultures so different from mine but also about how a simple act of kindness and friendship can really change somebody life. I rec. this book to anyone and has def become one of my favorite reads of the year!
