The narrator's voice didn't engage me and the humor felt forced. Shitty fathers can make for great scaffolding for memoirs, but this particular unhappy family's dynamic was no for me.

a lot of it was painful to read and i def preferred the show, but man it was good reading the way eddie talks about food and chinese diaspora in general. also, the dedication to evan and emery made me cry (and not give this book 1 star)

This was a really great listen. I only knew Eddie Huang as the dude the show Fresh Off the Boat was based on so this was an eye opener. I never knew he had a restaurant(s), was a lawyer, street wear designer, comedian, and got into all of that trouble as a kid. We're the same age (shout out to us xennials) so the music references really got me. There were some tough moments hearing about how bad the fighting between his mother and father got and there were times were his dad sounded like a straight up A hole. It was also tough listening to how horrible the kids at his school were to him, calling him racist names. This also made me hungry. Hope I can go to Baohaus one of these days.
