A review by katiemack
Age 16 by Rosena Fung
4.25
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I'm a sucker for graphic memoir (or memoir-adjacent) works with intergenerational trauma, so this worked really well for me! I enjoyed the different perspectives of Roz (2000s Toronto), her mother (1970s Hong Kong), and her grandmother (1950s China) at age 16 and all the sexism, fatphobia, and toxic parenting they dealt with. I wish we had gotten more closure from the stories, but I still appreciated the ending.
