Gute Einstiegslektüre. Wobei ich auch ein paar Dinge für mich mitnehmen konnte, obwohl es kein "neues Thema" für mich ist. Ich mochte es, dass Rassismus und auch Kolonialismus, im deutschen Kontext besprochen und belichtet wurden.
Ein paar wenige Beispiele und Stellen waren meiner Meinung nach etwas repetitiv. Abgesehen davon aber ein empfehlenswertes Buch.

Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto
2.75
All the many POV's didn't do the book any good in my opinion. I wished the whole book would have been written with only Vera's POV. Some of the dialoges were a bit too cringy and unbelievable.
I really liked the idea of the book and in the beginning i was having a lot of fun and i was loving all the descriptions of tea and Vera as a character was a really good choice. However i think it could've been a lot shorter and many of the side characters just were not interesting enough, to spend so much time on.
All in all, it was still a cozy read but sadly i liked the idea behind it much more, than the final book.
