Impractical Uses of Cake by Yeoh Jo-Ann

3.0

I liked the premise and honestly, I actually felt some affinity with the main character, Sukhin. However, I think that the so-called romantic interest was bland and made out to be a manic pixie girl at times which made me increasingly annoyed the more I read the book. The writer could have helped ease some of the mysterious parts but it often seemed like she couldn’t be bothered to try to flesh out this ‘purposefully’ elusive character. Also, I didn’t like that there were too many stereotypes in the book which made the book fall flat for me at the end.

Another round of edits could have helped (I think) to clean up the book better.
