Chinglish by Sue Cheung

Now I wanted to read this for a number of reasons 1- it is set in Coventry, where I live, and that is rare! 2- I was also moved here as a young child. 3- it sounded excellent! .
.
This is told in diary form so I found it to be a quick read but so much was packed into it! It's funny and heartbreaking all at once. Jo is writing her diary of moving to Coventry and of life living above her parents Chinese takeaway. While it is hilarious to read about her goats and some of her family's antics it also deals with race, bullying and abuse. I loved this book and devoured it quickly. I also love that at the end of the book there are the numbers of organizations to help if you were affected by anything in the book.
