I wasn't expecting this book to break my heart as much as it did, but oh my God. I had some friends in school who were first generation, and now as an adult I'm friends with the parents raising first generations, and it's such a hard thing to balance, but this was extreme and broke my heart. I'd like to think and hope this doesn't really happen, but I'm sure it does. Now I just want to go hug my friends and tell them how much I love them.
