"Never ever wear green chiffon unless you want to look like bak choy that got gang raped" (p. 67).
The part of this book which is about various Asian cultures, regional foods how the countries view each other's citizens etc., was fascinating. The part about the scheming mothers and bitchy women gossiping all over the place was tedious. The sudden and egregious use of the words f****t, c**t and n****r was just gross and unnecessary. Also, seriously, dog fighting? These characters are already entirely unsympathetic.
I missed the moment for reading this - right now with the current status of the world this crass, wealthy entitled class all seem not just deeply insipid but also evil.
