Last Tang Standing by Lauren Ho

1.0

I just could not get into this book. The very beginning where she attends a family event only to be shamed, guilt tripped, and filled with toxic, manipulative behaviors of others who have her best intentions in mind was just not something I wanted to be a part of. I understand that it was supposed to be a stereotypical depiction of the family dynamic within that culture, but I have also experienced similar behaviors (not revolving around the same subject matter) and I don't stand for it, fiction or not.
