I’ve seen this book float around bookstagram quite a lot recently so I decided to give it a shot.
First of all, this book made me so hungry.
This was a cute, quick and easy read.
But also an important one.
It tells a story of immigrant parents and the struggles and dilemmas that comes with that. It deals with xenophobia and harmful asian stereotypes.
Alongside a cute read, I feel like I learnt more about Vietnamese culture and history.
