2018 book 126

Vanessa Hua's A River of Stars
Well, this was pretty GREAT. It's centered on a young Chinese woman, pregnant, whose married boyfriend sends her to the US to have their baby--and then she decides to find a new life for herself. I did have to keep putting this down because I was dreading all the bad things that COULD happen, but things progressed in a way I didn’t expect. I did find the very end a bit disappointing, but this is still a really engaging story about immigration and motherhood. B+.
