Something about this author's writing completely appeals to me. It could be the wry female characters she creates or her pointed social commentary. This was another winner for me. I loved being in Joan's world and hearing about her awkward interactions with her family, friends, colleagues, and strangers. Through this lens, we also get some social commentary about being an Asian-American woman, a daughter, a sister, and being seen as the other.
