I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

While I wish certain sections divulged more of Curtis Chin's experiences and feelings, I appreciate his vulnerability in the events of his life that he does share with his readers. He effectively captures his family dynamics and explores his discovery of his sexuality and cultural identity with bemusement, creating some laugh-out-loud moments. I honestly could have kept reading about his family's restaurant because of the atmosphere Chin creates.
