shealea 's review for:

American Panda by Gloria Chao
3.0

Review to follow!

Quick thoughts:
- The book, especially its humor, sometimes made me feel uncomfortable.
- Too many Asian stereotypes, imo
- Inconsistent pacing, lacks a sense of time
- I was hoping for a more mature voice from the MC
- Instantaneous romance that surprisingly didn’t annoy me
- Pretty one-sided discourse on American vs. Chinese culture and values
- But I was mildly entertained and I didn’t actually hate this???
