Well, That Was Unexpected
by Jesse Q. Sutanto
rep: biracial (Chinese-Indonesian, white) protagonist, Chinese-Indonesian protagonist and side characters; (Chinese-Indonesian author)
I was so looking forward to this book and am so sad it was not very good...honestly this is more a personal thing so I hope it works more for you than it did for me
idk if I grossly misread the summary or if what I remember reading was an old summary, but I thought they both knew going in that the other's families catfished the other?? but they don't??? and I feel like that kinda ruined the story because they spend almost the entire time (and I'm not even exaggerating) being like "oh no i'm starting to like [sharlot/george] even tho they don't know that my family pretended to be me!!" like that is so much of the inner dialogue when they're together that I don't feel like they actually got to know each other
other than that, I feel like the story really dragged for the middle third, again because of the aforementioned repetitive inner dialogue. I did like both of them spending time with their individual families but other than that...yeah :///
