  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.75

This book was so close to being perfect that part of me just wants to give it 5 stars anyway. But the author's use of the r-slur and racially insensitive language was so uncalled for and unnecessary and took away from the beauty of this near-perfect romance.

Overall fetishizing and plays into the stereotyping of Asian women.
