A well written book, you can definitely tell the author knows about creative writing. I feel like the style of writing shifts with the mindset of the characters when looking at the past/present.
One thing that is constantly lurking in the back of my mind, especially after reading Yellowface, is who gets to tell which stories. I do like that the author acknowledges who they spoke to and what experiences they have related to the topics of this book.

I really enjoyed the book, but the ending made me really sad and a lot felt unresolved. Also, unnecessary trauma did not relate to the book's plot.
