Rental House by Weike Wang
4.0
Keru and her husband Nate are childless by choice, and they are navigating being a couple from very different backgrounds. Keru is of Chinese descent, and her parents believe in hard work and living well below their means. Nate is from a poorer white family, and you can see his parents' thinking during the recent election.
I was rooting for them, but for most of the novel I thought they were a lot younger than they were.
The cultural differences were interesting to see. And I thought Wang bringing up how immigrants vs. expats delineated was fascinating. A lot to think about in here although it comes in a deceptively small package.
