Complicated
Felt like the book went around in circles, like you were continuously reading the first few chapters of a new book. I wish it'd been a bit more reflective on the dysphoric nature of growing up away from your own culture and adapting to another because initially it seemed like it would. I also wish that it'd gone deeper into the main character's tricky familial relationships, but the writing was quite surface-level, flat and left me wanting more.
