Ellen’s stopped talking. She thinks she may have killed her dad. Her brother’s barricaded himself in his room. Their mother, a successful actress, carries on as normal. We’re a family of light! she insists. But darkness seeps in everywhere and in their separate worlds each of them longs for togetherness. Welcome to America is a scintillating portrait of a sensitive, strong-willed child in the throes of trauma, a family on the brink of implosion, and the love that threatens to tear them apart.

👍Worth reading
🎯Worthwhile
🚀Unputdownable
Este libro me encantó porque te permite entrar en la cabeza de una persona que está intentando asimilar una tragedia en su vida y ver todo lo que se rompió con ella. Es una descripción muy bella de cómo, después de una perdida, comenzamos a cuestionarnos todo a nuestro alrededor incluso nuestra vida misma y cómo la cotidianidad se ve alterada pero aún así, en todas esas dinámicas alteradas y poco sanas, aparece una nueva cotidianidad que normaliza las cosas.

Maybe he was growing away from me, so that we’d no longer have to stand in the same room, measuring each other with our eyes

That was the thing about growing up. Certain things belong to certain times.
