Welcome to Litsy!

Kenny and Han are roommates who have been best friends since forever. Han is undocumented and as a solution Kenny suggests they get married so he can stay. The good ol‘fake relationship trope. There were some scenes I absolutely loved but it reads really YA with New Adult characters. There are 2 sex scenes in here that are really ill timed. One that I just skipped over cause I kept wondering why the hell is this even in here. It was just ok.

I adore this book! Two guys are secretly in love with each other, but one of them is undocumented…their relationship is tested when an abuser decides to step in and make it all about her.
I seriously hope to see this adapted onto the big screen! 🇲🇽 🏳️‍🌈 And also, fuck ICE.

Wow. This discussed where the motion picture ends, and follows the stories of the lives after. What a ride through feelings, with some new custom combinations on the analysis feed. Life is messy.

The title takes on so many layers of meaning through these intertwined stories.

4⭐️ Took me awhile to understand the point of the book; it was the section titled “Micho Alvarez” (about 2/3 of the way through the book) that made me understand the author‘s intention of the book. Made me understand even more why people risk their lives crossing the US/Mexico border. #bookstagram #ownvoices #fiction #bookreview #immigrantstories #2020

Went to the library last night to pick up one book for a student. Look what happened!!!!

Captures something I've noticed about some Chinese restaurants anywhere (not in China) - adapting to the local scene. Liked this overall, 4/5 (we need something between Pick and So-So for ratings).

Article the author wrote which is the basis for the book: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/chop-suey-nation/article30539...

So unexpected.
So completely relevant.

Over time, Dad started leaving his borsello behind on the credenza. His colleagues teased him about being gay whenever he carried it, so he stopped.
Ironically, though the borsello was a very common male accessory & a sign of refinement in 1970s Italy, these days discussion can be found on the Internet among Italian guys as to whether carrying the borsello is a sign of being gay.

This Independence Day, I‘m celebrating immigrant stories — because welcoming newcomers is one of the American values I cherish most.
