Real Americans by Rachel Khong
3.5
Reading this was a literal emotional roller coaster for me.
I read this for a book club. I can't say that it's not something I would have never read before, but I don't think it would have been my first pick.
The synopses mention multiple viewpoints between a mother and a son, so I expected that, but then, surprise, here's grandma.
I loved Lily's story, her character, and her will to want to protect her son. I hated Nick, however. Like, sir, how dare you treat your mother like that? She did the best she could. And then, May's story made my heart ache. Honestly, the reason I gave this a 3.5 rating was because of Lily and May. It probably could have made it to four, but screw Nick!
