- I loved the way the story switched between prose and graphic novel!
- I loved how realistic the character’s emotions felt. The story moved from sad to happy to angry and back very convincingly.
- this sibling relationship felt so well done! The relationship between the MC and his mom was so complex as well.
- Watching Jingwen deal with everything through making cakes was such an effective way to show how hard it was for him to deal with moving/the language barrier and with his family.
