I really loved this book, it isn't my favorite thing I've read so far this year. However, I enjoyed it I read this for book club, and I was just grateful that it wasn't about a bunch of white people. I usually get mad about alternating time lens. However, I think it was handled very well and getting the background about the Grandma's life in Tokyo was my favorite part of the book. I was taken aback every time they mentioned Dallas or Fort Worth simply because I live there.
