Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir by Eddie Huang

5.0

I’ve been an avid watcher of the show, Fresh Off The Boat and I loved everything about it. The book is so different than the show. I wasn’t a fan of the beginning of the book because I couldn’t relate to all the violence and acting out; however, I’ve never related more to a book than this one. Eddie’s struggles were my struggles but I conformed and wanted to please Americans, especially white people. His whole story resonated with me. (At first I was disappointed that the book isn’t more like the show, but I loved this book by the end and wished the show was more like the book.)
