This book was what i had hoped american born chinese would be. no offense, gene yang. i did like ABC but what i was really hoping for was something closer to reality than satire. and double points for it being korean characters. little moments like, "You don't eat raw ramen? what kind of korean are you??" for me, that's the appeal. characters, plot, whatevs. raw ramen jokes? a little inside for the weirdo koreans out there? love it.

I picked this up at my library without knowing anything about it before. I really liked the main story of it. Some of the shorter stories were good, but most of them felt kind of just okay to me. It’s cool to read knowing that he went on to be the lead character designer for Adventure Time and to see some of his work.

Same difference was such a completely refreshing and real story, even though much didn't really happen, I loved it.

To clarify, "Same Difference" itself is a full five-star story, no holds barred. Unfortunately, the other, shorter stories are mostly forgettable.

Most of the characters are incels.
I liked it because the early 2000s nostalgia is palpable.

Mixed bag. A few gems, but also a few more masturbation jokes than seemed really necessary.
