This was so beautifully written and vulnerable, in a way that was necessary to tell this story. As a mixed Asian American woman as well parts of the book made me emotional and gave me some things to reflect on.
The chapters on Okinawan history were informative and important, but as others have said it didn’t always cross over thematically narrative chapters or have a sharp focus. It almost felt like a separate book or something. So that’s my main criticism, but other than that really liked it
