I had to read this book for me English class and I really enjoyed it. Getting to see the relationships and the way the mothers interacted with the daughters, and then getting a better understanding of why they interact in the way they do through backstories was interesting. I really enjoyed waverlys, lindo jong, an mei, and ying-yings perspectives. I will say it was hard to remember whose story was whose at times but overall it was amazing.
