Found this book in my e-reader library and I'm so glad I did. Not going to lie, but I didn't know that much of the Vietnam War. I loved how I learned a lot about this generational history on a person level. I didn't love the art style of this graphic novel at first, but now reading it through I realized it fit so perfectly with the story telling. If they don't do this already, this graphic novel should be assigned reading for schools to learn more about this side of history. This is a great start to AAPI month!

The Best We Could Do is a memoir in graphic novel format. It tells of the author and her parents' experiences in Vietnam before, during and after the Vietnam War and their experiences as refugees in the US. The story is harrowing and heartbreaking at times but the author definitely ends on a more positive note.
