sherriebear 's review for:
Chinese Parents Don't Say I Love You
by Candice Chung
adventurous
emotional
funny
hopeful
reflective
medium-paced
A poetic and reflective memoir experimenting slightly with form - although the choose your own adventure worked less well in audiobook format!
I feel the title is a slight misnomer as the focus of the memoir is definitely her romantic relationships and how her family orbit around them - e.g. the chosen beginning is structured at how her parents take on the role of her ex-partner for her food reviews as they reconnect/reconcile outside of the relationship that estranged them.
Interesting parallels were drawn between restaurants and parents/life. Musings on want, love, fear and stories and some lovely descriptions.
