The setup reminds me of the joy luck club with all the perspectives of the characters and their familial and internal struggles, which I enjoyed. Jia was definitely my favorite perspective to read from. I also was super excited for Everett to stand up to the racists at the summer camp and for Ariel to find out more about her sister. It kept me engaged and was nice to listen to in my free time.
