A review by lenny3
American Panda by Gloria Chao

4.0

God lord this was just adorable. Although I can not speak to the cultural representation within the book, my heart is bursting from the relationships - familiar, friendship and romantic. Messy, complicated, we developed and layered, just hit me right in the feels. I also love that story lines that could have (and TBH, straddled) slipped into mild slut shaming made a point of pulling back and taking another path.
I really look forward to picking up anything else that Chao puts out!
