A review by raekit
Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong

4.0

This was a fascinating read. Truong has great skill in the way she reveals things deep into the novel that completely change everything you thought you knew about the world she created. It's such a surprising read in that way: you'll think you have a handle on things and deftly she upends what you think you know.

This is a novel about family and how we love each other and also fail each other. It is well-worth-it read but certainly not a light one.
