In the world as it currently stands, reading about the experiences of people who are unlike yourself is vitally important. This book is a really intimate and personal look at what being an Asian American is like, which is something I personally could not experience myself. Open and honest but couched in metaphor that keeps the whole thing quippy and moving pretty quickly.
