3.0
Here we are, yet again, with another book full of women obviously written by men. The only short story in this collection that I think was worth time is the last story, Yellow, which discusses the multifaceted Asian American experience; from the depiction of the model minority paradigm, microagressions, and the effects of the pressure to assimilate into white America, the short story Yellow is relatable and recognizable to many Asian Americans who feel as if they walk a daily tightrope between identities.
