medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Idk… this book made me feel uncomfortable and irritated. And as a Chinese I don’t like how the Chinese female characters were portrayed but the author herself is Chinese so that’s a little awkward

I just wasn't that into it. Maybe it's better and I might revisit it but it was already starting to feel very familiar and predictable. The writing was really good.

I was definitely crying throughout this book. The characters, the secrets, and the drama sucked me in. The ending was very satisfying.

I can see why this got made into a TV series. It's got that great intertwined-families, secrets-to-be-revealed thing happening. It reminded me in some ways of a Liane Moriarty type book, except those books often feel intentionally blind to race and class issues, and this one engaged with them. The 90s setting was fun, and the (real, actual!) town was fascinating.
