My sister Ines recommended this book, so I read it on a trip to Hawaii and while it was sort of hard to get into (and say aloud without giggling...I'm sorry, it's true), I would recommend it to anyone. I really enjoyed it as a story of immigration and how people's lives move forward; they fall in love, get sick, dream, regardless of their status, and impact the lives of others around them. It's a great story that will hook you and reel you in and when you finish the book, the book will not be finished with you because you'll just keep thinking about the characters, the city, circumstances, etc. Pick it up, people!
