emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced
Written with tenderness and care, Tasha Jun’s memoir mirrors this ache in me like very few writers have before. Jun expertly weaves together her faith and the story of her life, as well as her family members’ lives, in a way that is earnest without being corny or preachy. I cried while listening to the audiobook and felt so deeply validated when she talked about her wariness of being fetishized when she was dating. This is definitely a book I’ll hold close to my heart for many years.

challenging reflective sad medium-paced
The author was very forth coming in her experiences in life. I did enjoy that she was raw in her experiences and emotions. It does give a perspective that is unique and not often heard from. However, the writing style was  confusing for me. I did have a hard time following the timeline of the author's childhood into adulthood. There were times, in my opinion, when I felt scripture was used out of context.
