This Time Will Be Different by Misa Sugiura
3.0

I haven't seen a lot of books with this plot (a family reckoning with the family that took their wealth when they were sent to Japanese internment) and I wish it was explored with more nuance here. The perpetrators are conveniently millionaires, conflict comes to a convenient resolution, and the sale of the store is overshadowed by (interesting) subplots around romance and friendship. There's some great food for thought here, but I was hoping for more.
