The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wai Chim

5.0

Ok so for me to say I loved this novel is an understatement. It was a meet cute supported by themes discussing mental health, child abuse and racism, just to mention a few. But it isnt a dark and forboding novel, its light and fluffy in parts while other will pull at the heart strings; basically its an expert balance sweet and marshmallowy mixed with serious commentary on the state of australia.

For those who love contemporary novels and budding relationships, i say read this novel and bask in its glory. To those who aren't a fan on contemporary novels, I say pull your head in, read this novel and bask in its glory... basically its fantastic and a must read.
