 This is such a unique graphic novel; the twists are surprising and work on multiple, complex levels. It’s a really interesting exploration of identity and internalized racism, though I wish there was more narrative past the ending.

I liked the illustrations and how the three stories came together in the end. As a biracial Taiwanese person, it was really hard to read through all the racism and slurs used in this graphic novel.

I related to this book so much as someone who’s mixed race of two separate Asian ethnicities but it really does an excellent job of showing being of color in spaces that are mainly white. The ending portions are a bit hasty but I still enjoyed the absurdity of everything jumbling together.
