I really appreciated this as I am also the daughter of an Asian refugee. A lot of the family dynamics really hit me hard.

Horribly disturbing. A masterpiece.
fast-paced

Cute and atmospheric. I enjoyed the escapism, but insta-love is not my thing.

A beautiful adaptation that makes me want to read the original.

A strong addition to the archiving of the occupation of Palestine and the impact on its people.

A modern classic.

It's eerie to read a book set in the 1980s, yet Israel is still bombing Lebanon as we speak in September 2024.

I was skeptical for the first 100 pages, but then I devoured it. It was outrageous in the beat way.

I didn't think AH was for me, but I was charmed by the 98% longing, 120% friends and family vibe of this book.
fast-paced

A well-executed "patriarchy but make it chilling," thriller.
