This book was very enjoyable. The plot was exciting and made me want to read on. Jaime was characterised very well and the writing made me feel as if I knew Jaime personally. Teenagers from all over the world can relate to Jaime's feelings of loneliness and rejection. The novel explores the hardships of a girl who is trying to fit in again with her old culture and find her inner self. It shows the reader that shifting cultures can be a painful process but in the end, is quite rewarding. Borderland is definitely a book to read. ( )
