Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
4.0

If you loved Spirits Abroad and desperately wanted a story just like that but novel-sized -- this book is a gift for you.

Black Water Sister has Zen Cho's trademark immersive, bright quality that melds the Western and the Eastern with unflinching authenticity and humor that made me love Spirits Abroad, and find myself in resonance with the novel on many levels as well. Messy and loving families, despairing queer zillenials, grandmothers with an agenda, immigrant identity and sympathy, a supernatural mystery -- any of these on their own would be worth reading the book for, and how cool it is that they can come in one package?

Thanks to #NetGalley for an advance copy of #BlackWaterSister.
