hopeful
reflective

A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
One of the most interesting portrayals of immigrant child guilt, filial piety, and intergenerational trauma. This book is one that really needed to be written, and I'm surprised it hasn't been done before. Don't let the cover fool you, the book is filled with nuanced conversations and the protagonist is one you can really root for.
