Ugh, this book seemed like it would be so good. Immigrant boy who gets into his dream school and wants to follow his dreams until his opens the Pandora’s box of family secrets including a mystery dead older sister he can never get a straight answer about. I was wrong. This book was weighed down with issues and bored me to tears. I found myself doing one of the things I hate....in the middle of chapters I would skip ahead just to see if anything good was coming. It’s not that the book was bad which is why I gave it three stars. The Problem was the delivery and the pacing. It just needed to flow better. A slow burn is okay, but this just felt like forever. I didn’t even finish it. I couldn’t. I would like to add that I appreciated that this book focuses on the emotional depths of the characters. Many stories just skim over these little characters details to instead focus on shallow relationships. So, PUIL did very well with that.
