A young Malaysian woman returns from the US to Penang with her parents after her college graduation. Closeted and struggling to fit in and find a job, she is confronted with the ghost of her grandmother, who wants to use her body for a vendetta against a god and some gangsters. On top of that Jess has to deal with her demanding aunts, uncles and assorted other family members.
New Adult, light LGBTQIA+ in the background. Family, identity and self-discovery. Contemporary fantasy. Mediums, gods, ghosts and temples. Some fights, some light drama, sometimes amusing. I spaced out a few times. The story didn‘t really do much for me. 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
The audio narration is well done, especially the accents of all the aunties.
