A review by hanakorc
Lucy and Linh, by Alice Pung
3.0
This book was basically Mean Girls if you replaced Cady Heron with a Third Culture Kid named Lucy.
I really enjoyed the qualty writing in this book. It allowed me to get fully immersed in the story. Lucy's obserations on social norms, class, race, self-identity are quite astute but still feel in line with her teenage self.
The book drags a little at moments and the twist at the end was a tad predictable for my taste, but overall it was a delightful read.
