I absolutely loved this book. The whole thing was a delight from start to finish! It was so adorable and such an accurate depiction of life as a queer Asian-American woman. The plot was a realistic, adorable, sexy, contemporary account of getting back with the one that got away. There are so few books out there with such wonderful accurate queer Asian representation. The reference to SASS had me gagged. 

The part when they interview the lesbian elders had me sobbing along with Celeste!!! It’s painfully true that there are so few queer Asian elders. And so sad that Asian countries are not accepting of queerness.


Altogether this was one of the cutest queer books I’ve read this year. Would definitely recommend.

Many thanks to the author and publisher for the opportunity to have read an advanced copy this book for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
