This book has like everything! Ghosts, gods, mediums,  gangsters, feminism, generational trauma, family obligation and secrets and love. Jess is a relatable protag. Ah Ma is aggravating but also somewhat endearing. I also didn’t know anything about Malaysia coming into the book, so I enjoyed googling random stuff that wasn’t familiar as it came up, like food and customs and the five foot way.
