Great story! I enjoyed the movie but the book filled in with so many more details and plot. Interesting complex characters all around. Book had a different ending from movie but much more enjoyable. I found the family tree very helpful and interesting. I would say the physical book is the best way to read this for the interesting footnotes (language, context, history, culture, etc) & the family tree. Had good humor and offered so much info about Chinese culture & Singaporean culture. Great pacing. I loved the different POV's from all different characters. The main character in this novel was honestly just Singaporean culture in general seen from different angles with an interesting plot to enhance it. Would definitely recommend this!
