A review by ivyeori
Crossing by Andrew Xia Fukuda

4.0

The perfect book to pull you out of a reading slump! Super duper fast paced but doesn’t feel too rushed either. I was initially going to give it 3.5 stars but then the last 50 pages happened and I was sent through a LOOP. Extra 1/2 star for that ending ! I love the way Fukuda explores asian stereotypes and micro-aggressions that are disappointingly common in societies such as America. This novel captures the immigrant experience painfully realistically.
Although there were a few underdeveloped plot points, I really enjoyed this book and considering it’s a debut novel, Andrew Fukuda does extremellyyyy well :)
