Instagram review

I really enjoyed, and appreciated, reading this funny, insightful, and engaging story. Krummeck deftly brings in a range of themes related to immigration, migration, and refugee experiences into an impactful, often hilarious, story about identity, mistaken identity, and the creative arts. The mistaken identity themes allow the plot to expand nicely into themes on sexuality, love, and relationships with gentle notes of humor and awareness of how Shakespearean tropes can be updated to develop an inclusive and important examination of identity in today’s world. This is a story that balances the hilarity that follows mistaken identity with the needed heart-tugging that underlies the deeper story about refugees, dreams, and love.

The author has a strong background in writing about themes on immigrant lives and is a radio host for a classical music program... and this book shows off that unique combination and honors her strengths as a writer.
