First I would like to say how much emotion this book brought me. It was tense, emotional, funny, heartwarming.  I think one of the things that stood out to me was the amount of community the book was surrounded around. I haven’t read in a longggg time, or rather I haven’t finished a book since I was 15 maybe. I’ve recently gotten in reading now that I’m 21, and I think this book was perfect to get me into reading again. Loved it so much, I found it my local library. Loved it so much.

If I'm being honest, I was disappointed by this book because it had a lot of potential! I think there were many "small" details that were glossed over and as they accumulated, there was a lot of emerging plot holes and instances where the flow felt choppy and disconnected. I thought Hana was incredibly naive and short-sighted a lot of the time. She was also extremely wishy-washy. She was rightfully angered and on edge about the possibility of losing her family's restaurant to  gentrification and  she  became so soft once she started having a crush on the owner. That's all it took was a little crush to forgive possibly losing her family's SOLE livelihood. Not only that, but her "best friends" were not well developed and seemed shallow. I didn't like them and I wasn't rooting for them at all. I wasn't rooting for anyone at all, except for Hana's family to save the restaurant. 

There was a lot of potential with this story but the writing to me just seemed rushed and disjoineted.
