Lila did get on my nerves a bit but I do understand why she was like she was. Just would have liked a little more character development for her. The Aunties were insufferable but I had to chuckle because I got them too!
I will say I think some of the humor seemed forced. But otherwise, solid read.

As a Filipina away from home, this book is a great reminder to cherish your loved ones despite their own personal flaws and to stand by your family no matter what, blood or found. It’s definitely a fun read, but not something I would take too seriously.
