While I enjoyed reading about the author’s experiences growing up in his family’s Chinese restaurant in Detroit, I thought this book lacked depth. Chin reflects on his different identities, a gay man, a member of a Chinese-American household, and a resident of a city on the decline, throughout the story. However, these reflections lacked depth and the story felt flat. I believe this title would have worked better as a collection of essays rather than a memoir.
