It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother’s deportation last year, all Soledad “Sol” Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything’s changed—new apartment, new school, new family dynamic—and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college’s history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray’s oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There’s just one problem: while the owners of the house aren’t home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn’t as important as being yourself—even if that’s the hardest thing she’s ever had to do.

I was disappointed. I really wanted to love it bc it talks about immigration and the separation of families, a topic that's very imp to me, but overall, it didn't offer much. The plot was slow and hinged on a sketchy history club and the romance was meh. I did enjoy some of the friendships tho. What esp turned me off was the use of misgendering and racism to show that others were trans and black when there're other affirming ways to do so

so-so

It‘s been a year since Soledad Gutierrez mom was deported after the terrible accident where she was the driver.

I‘m on the fence about this book. It read kind of disjointed and the story felt chunky in a bad way. I liked how the author showed the trauma that happens to kids when their parents are ripped from them and deported. The story did become repetitive and Kind of lagged.
