Hilarious, a bit surreal, and very very honest. I was really impressed by the way Chou guided us through Ingrid's journey in a way that was very honest about her shortcomings but didn't look down on her as a character. Everyone felt real. I hated Stephen so, so much from the very beginning. A great read about the complications of being a "model minority."
