Very interesting read. Don't usually read books where I can't relate to the narrator at all. It read fast and light but the subject matter is not light. Weird but interesting to be inside the mind of a white person who won't admit they're wrong. Especially when the author is AAPI.
Graphic: Cultural appropriation, Racism, and Torture
Moderate: Death
Minor: Suicidal thoughts
