Talk about Korean drama level dramatic! I mean that love square, the family drama, main lead second lead WHO WILL SHE CHOOSE? I loved it lol I was apprehensive at first because I saw a lot of low ratings, but this just proves I’ve got to stop relying on Goodreads reviews & make my own choices lol (ironically)

Does this book have its faults? Yes. There are topics that could’ve been addressed better and there were definitely some uncomfortable situations. But, the whole concept was *chefs kiss*. Really this is the epitome of teenage young adults figuring out who they are and where they wanna go in life. I love how Abigail Hing Wen adds in the struggles Asian and Asian-American youth face. Talking with my sister about the characters we both realized these issues are relevant to our lives and to others apart of the Asian and Asian-American community. Some say things like Ever’s parents wanting her to be a doctor because her dad couldn’t achieve that dream is “dramatic”, but that IS the real life for so many immigrant children
