I laughed, I cried, and then I laughed and cried some more. Heart wrenching and inspiring at every turn, and a page turner to boot.

I am a massive MCU fan, and love Simu both as Shang-Chi and Jung Kim. I had no idea about his life before I picked up this book - at least, nothing beyond a brief career as an accountant, and modelling for some hilarious stock photos, both of which he addresses with some frequency on Twitter. Reading about his childhood and adolescence, and those of his parents, broke my heart and made me cry on multiple occasions. I definitely recommend this to everyone, especially those who are struggling to find their place in this world.
