Interesting to read about the Cambodian diaspora in America. I'm of Chinese descent and grew up in Australia, so parts were intimately relatable as an Asian kid growing up in a white country. 

I enjoy short stories as a way to get a little snapshot view into the characters' lives. I can't say I particularly liked or disliked any of the characters, but that doesn't change how I did enjoy reading all the stories.
