American Panda by Gloria Chao
5.0

From the cover you would assume this book will be cute and you wouldn't be wrong. However, that is definitely not all this book is. It is a universal story of a young woman coming to terms with life, love, and family expectations (which is something we all can relate to), but it is told from a perspective different from my own personal background and that made it even more fascinating. I loved learning about Meis' cultural traditions (although like Mei, I didn't always agree with them) and I loved Mei (I was cheering for her the whole time I was reading this book) and the other characters were stellar as well. Although obviously a very cute read, it had hilarious moments throughout and the love story was top notch. I read this in one sitting. It was so much more than I expected it to be and it left me with warm and fuzzy feelings and a smile on my face.
