Not to compare every immigrant / first gen story but it made me think of The House on Mango Street. I loved it so much! Except the ending was so rushed. If it was based on real life okay that's fine but it was too fast. I would've liked an epilogue a year, five years, ten years in the future or another look at the neighborhood. Something!
