Short Girls: A Novel by Bich Minh Nguyen
4.0
What a sweet book. It's about two sisters, second-generation Vietnamese immigrants, and it's set in a town I love, Ann Arbor. More than that, though, it made me think a lot about what it means to be a descendant of recent immigrants and the myriad ways one tries to fit in--or not.
My gripes about the book are some easy resolutions and too much showing, not telling. However, that wouldn't dissuade me from recommending it.
