A review by janey
New Waves by Kevin Nguyen

4.0

I read a review of this book in the NY Times that compared it to The Great Gatsby in that it is written from the POV of someone reflecting on a friend who has died, trying to piece together the full picture of his friend. This comparison really informed my reading and helped me to enjoy it. It's a debut novel and the writer has worked in different media prior to this, so I expect that he will age well. Still, this is an interesting and worthy read.
