1.0

I desperately wanted to love this book for two reasons: 1) it was a gift from someone magical, and 2) it reminds people of Sally Rooney whose 'Normal People' I devoured.

Unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself to even like it. Sure, there are edible phrases and I related to her insecurities to some degree BUT it's self-indulgent, brimming with unaddressed privilege, and lacks complex Asian characters despite being set in Hong Kong. Disappointing.
