A Duet for Home
by Karina Yan Glaser
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing the E-ARC.
The Model Minority Myth is very much real, and I thought that this is a well-needed book that depicts what Asian-American children might go through with immigrant parents. Within the Asian community, you’re taught to stay within your own family and be silent. But I like to see the courage that June has.
The only criticisms that I have of this book is that I thought that the ending might have been too perfect. However, I do like the idea of June standing and speaking up. Additionally, I thought that some parts of the novel went a little slow. It felt a lot like slice-of-life and wished that it could’ve been more fast-paced.
