Thank you to Henry Holt & Company and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read the advance copy of this book!

- Měi is a limo driver who takes “off the books” jobs to make ends meet. One trip driving a man named Henry reveals much more than she expected— about Henry, what he’s transporting, the meaning of family, and geopolitical landscapes.
- This was my first education on China’s imprisonment, genocide, and sterilization of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang. I was horrified. It felt like a timely and important read. If you are unaware of the human rights abuses against the Uyghur people, this was an approachable introduction.
- The book had one of the most well-written and layered main characters I’ve read in a long time. I really loved seeing Měi grow and change throughout the short trip.
- I felt like the pacing was a little inconsistent, but the setting of a major road trip aligns with that.
- I loved the depictions of family across ethnicities, language barriers, generations, and chosen family. It was beautiful.
