I absolutely adored this book. The pacing was excellent and I loved the storytelling. The authors writing is phenomenal. My only minor gripe for this book is the general lack of descriptions for characters! Some parts of the book are a bit unbelievable but given that it’s mostly a comedy, it’s easy to get past if you don’t take it too seriously. Other than that, an incredibly written story and I’m shocked I haven’t seen this book get more hype. My favorite book I’ve read in a long time! Would highly recommend. The romance was really cute and definitely enjoyed it.

There's so much in this book that is well done. The atmosphere of the dim sum restaurant made me simultaneously claustrophobic and hungry. I think Jesse Sutanto did a great job capturing each characters voice. But the Python-esque shenanigans have left me a bit frustrated. Not to mention - everyone was very okay with the murder and I have a hard time believing that.
