I’d heard mixed reviews about this novel, so I was a bit sceptical as to if I was going to like it or not. Thankfully, I ended up really liking it.
In this story, we follow an 18 year old Korean-american who remains unnamed until the last chapter. She is pregnant and works as a pizza girl. She becomes obsessed with one of her clients while also struggling with the death of her dad and basically her whole life. She lives with her supportive boyfriend and mother.
The depiction of hanging on to an obsessive and intense sapphic crush in order to avoid the fact that your life is crumbling was incredibly well done. By that I mean, I was able to relate to the main character’s feelings minus
Coming-of-age stories tend to incorporate a lot of cliches, which this story didn’t rely on. The characters had their unique personalities & motivations.
The length and pacing were perfect and made it a very fast pleasant read.
I think I read this at the perfect time in my life. It made me feel a lot of emotions and reminded me of why I like reading so much. I still understand how this could be not for everyone.
