Short review: The Leavers by Lisa Ko

Such a lovely book about a Chinese American boy who goes into foster care after his mother vanishes. A meditation on international adoption, growing up an immigrant and well meaning people who are nevertheless not your family. I'm enjoying it, especially since I recently read Behold The Dreamers and am feeling very immigrant lit in my novel choices. #bookstagram #mrmbookclub#nowreading #158in2018
