From the get-go, this book captivated me. I was introduced to characters quickly and immediately rooted for the main characters. The descriptions of the people were very accurate as the author introduced people from all walks of life and personalities.

The book is divided into 3 parts. The first parts focuses on Agata, a young Polish women, who left her home in search for a better job and ended up in the US. The second part focuses on Mario, a Mexican immigrant who initially struggles to get into the country. The third part bring them surprisingly together.

The way the book is organized makes is very easy to read and catches the reader off guard more than once. In my opinion, I think it is a fair representation of illegal immigrants in this country.

I really enjoyed reading this novel and can honestly recommend it to anyone!
