Although some of the Cantonese references were likely lost on me I was left laughing and teary with some understanding of the Asian culture references. It was both an easy and heavy read, but it kept me turning the pages and wanting to see how the family came to talk to each other. Also always nice to read a book based in the city you live in 😉
