oatmilky 's review for:

Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang
3.5
mysterious reflective relaxing tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Unique indeed
Gay manic pixie dream girl
Pudgy critique of capitalism, likes to talk shit of the super rich but lands in some weird mushy feely neoliberal thing. 
Beautiful imagery sometimes doin a lil too much with the food
Kind of tired trope of like, Asian girl pigeonholed into being quiet and submissive / all asians are the same type beat
Will remember this one for a while! Ultimately cool read tho, would rec for the experience
