Somewhat disjointed, but well-written. We need more Chinese-American stories !

The first book in a long time to make me cry. The ending was so good but so sad. 

At times, the movement between perspectives was a bit hard to follow but nothing that impacted how I felt about the book by the end. Now I need to rewatch the movie.

This made me cry, laugh, and get mad at different parts of each story.
If you come from complex families
moms who hassle you but you still love them
Know too much family history
Know bits/pieces to family lore but was never told all the information…
this book can relate.
