The commentary on Asian culture - specifically Asian parents! - and the struggle of being a second gen immigrant featured in this book... Priceless!
Also this was so funny and cute and heart warming and gut wrenching (so much of the conflict was so on point, as someone who is also Taiwanese, I was mildly triggered at times, ngel), that you have to read it. Besides that, Drew is so. Fucking. Precious (Send help level PRECIOUS). You NEED to meet him.
