Impractical Uses of Cake by Yeoh Jo-Ann

3.0

This whimsical story of a JC English literature teacher approaching a middle age crisis and his ex-girlfriend whom he suddenly discovers living homeless on the streets was a fun and quick read. It may have tried to cram in too many themes (education, homelessness, mental illness, food waste, homosexuality) to treat any one of them substantially, but the light prose and quirky characters make up for it.
