The story covers a relatively short time period in its 650 pages and feels more like a snapshot of Casey’s life than a structured story with a beginning, middle and satisfying end. It feels a little under-edited but the characters are well-developed and I found myself genuinely caring about (most of) them.

There was so much prose in this book that could have been left out and the story would still have been told, but it wouldn’t have made the book what is it, a deep dive into the complexities of growing up and living cross culturally.
Overall it was a good read and I’m glad I stuck with it.
