This is a love letter to Kathy's younger self. I have so much feelings rn after finishing this book. I love how the things she wrote make it true to the future (never beat an Asian mom).

I wanted to hug 11yo Kathy, Idk I feel sad for her 😭 I understand her loneliness. This is a book about fitting in, be honest with your younger self even though it's hard. It made me realize that no family is perfect either:"

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (Jennie lives her American dream yay, and sorry about your dad:") AND THE PICTURES ARE SOOOO PRECIOUS πŸ’žπŸ’ž

This memoir perfectly depicts the insecurity every preteen and teen feels, but also speaks directly to people who have struggled to find the balance between two cultures / ethnicities they belong to and how being seen as more than one thing can make you feel that you’re not enough of anything.
