The fact that Helen and Grant have such a tender love makes my heart ache. The book is filled with wanting caresses and touches conveyed with so much love I didn't know was possible and had me kicking my feet from how cute they were and relayed their intense yearning for one another.
One thing that struck my heart most of all, was how Helen's relationship with her Asian parents as a product of immigrant-parents moving to big cities for better lives, resulting in the complicated tangles of familial relationships and was so relatable to me. The way she interacts with them, she way she feels about them, the way they make up without words all make me want to cry from the familiarity.
This was a good book. It was a great book.
