Fresh Off the Boat by Eddie Huang
5.0
My own Taiwanese-American childhood looks a lot more like the stereotype, so I really loved reading Eddie’s story because it was so different from mine — but also very similar in some ways; there are, after all, many universal aspects of growing up with immigrant parents.
This book bursts with personality and energy: moments of doubt and of triumphant epiphany, poor choices later regretted, love of music and food and people. It’s relatable on a human level, for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or lost their way.
