allisonfay84 's review for:
The Satisfaction Café
by Kathy Wang
Thank you to the publisher (Simon & Schuster) and the author for the opportunity to read this advanced reader copy!
I am a sucker for a good family drama, so I was excited to dive in here. I loved the writing here - so bold and descriptive without being boring.
Joan was a very real character in my mind. I liked her, Lee and Jamie’s contradictions as that made them more real. I wanted them to be a closer family the whole time, but I also know that culture was a huge theme here and really shone in Joan’s parenting and how her children made decisions.
I will probably always wonder if Lee and Jamie turned out okay, and if they are happy. I think that's a sign that the characters were well developed. They certainly made a mark.
