I think this was a beautifully written book. The author has done a great job of showing her culture. I enjoyed reading the book even though it had a lot of drama and a lot of trauma mentioned. The humor of the characters broke a lot of the tension without dismissing the pain of the characters. I think it related to me personally because I use humor as a way to deal with traumatic events. It also does a great job of showing the Narcissistic parent and how they treat the golden child as well as the scapegoat child. And how neither are really truly loved.  It has a slow burn enemies to lovers. Mainly the book is about a self love journey and how to jump out of your shell even if you could lose everything.
