ahhhh i loved this book it was so much fun! it doesn't take itself too seriously but it's not really corny or cringey. it's the romantic comedy wacky murder mystery that people are nostalgic over these days, with the over-the-top family dynamics from the 90s/early 2000s, except with an asian american spin. i thought it was so fun; i read 70% of it in one day because i was so excited to read the next plot twist/new conundrum. my only qualm is that the maureen storyline is a biiiiit corny, but not enough to crucify the book over. i'm really glad it's a series and it's becoming a netflix movie because it played out in my head like a movie. also i will be very sensitive to who they cast as Nathan bc i'm in love w him!!!
