4.0

This was a fun, easy to consume book, I wish there was more time spent on the
protagonist's father's communist party and possible deportation
plotline but that's not a huge complaint as the book primarily focuses on Lily's journey discovering her queerness. It was short and bittersweet, well written and engrossing. The book is very character focused and does a great job portraying the American born Chinese experience. 

 I also really enjoyed the setting of 1950s Chinatown. The book really does a great job of transporting you to San Francisco
