The setting appropriate racism is fine, the excoticism is not.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, tugged at my emotions, and made me root for both main characters. There are some tough topics covered, so definitely read the content warnings first.  Would read more from this author.

I really liked this book. It's been getting a lot of bad publicity lately for its Asian representation, which I am not qualified to comment on, but I thought that the romance was very good and her portrayal of a plus-sized woman was very accurate. It's also set in the 80s and has a big emphasis on music, which I personally liked.
