rukistarsailor 's review for:

Heiress Apparently by Diana Ma
2.0

While I appreciated the historical information about China, the perspective of China from a Chinese American, the depiction of Asian representation and struggles within American media, and the portrayal of immigrants connecting back with their homeland, Heiress Apparently's plot was a mess. There was almost no buildup, so the climax felt flat, and there were just too many story lines going on. Overall, I love what Heiress Apparently is trying to do, but the book could have used some pruning.

(Oh, I give Heiress Apparently brownie points for indirectly referencing the girl group Fanxy Red/Acrush!)
