Listened to the audiobook version so it was really hard to keep up with all the names in the beginning but got easier once I was familiar with the characters.

This book is MESSY lol. It definitely plays into the typical Asian culture of parents wanting their children to fit a certain mold. I am not well versed in Vietnamese culture but the stereotypes were definitely all there.

Just not doing much for me. I don’t feel like listening to family drama.

I loved reading women’s fiction about a whole new culture! It was a fun drama filled book, it could be a sitcom almost with certain plot points. I would love to see more books like this.
