Exceptional. This collection of essays is unbearably precise, striking the most vulnerable of emotions with masterful, incisive language. I feel my own untangled, dark and shameful vulnerabilities cast under a bright white spotlight to be dissected with great precision, confidence, and relevance. What does it mean to be Asian in a neoliberal, colonised, modern world? Why am I enraged and yet why am I invisible? This is essential reading.

This was super interesting and unexpected. The first half of the book made me learn and think a lot about the Asian American experience. Hong's personal thoughts and experiences were poignant and thought-provoking. The second half dealt more with celebrities, history, and her college friends, so it felt a little disjointed to me and didn't feel as personal as the first half, but was still important and eye-opening.
