It's giving Gossip Girl, Ace of Spades, Pretty Little Liars, all of Karen McManus' YA books but set with a predominantly Asian cast. So if you liked any of those, this could be right up your alley. I enjoyed it although it was a little predictable. I connected a lot with the whole "Asian immigrant family expecting the best" thing because I experienced that in my school years. Like ridiculous expectations of being the best and not talking about your mental health struggles because you have to be strong and look at the sacrifices your family did so you could grow up in America. So some of it hit real close to home.
I wish at the end we knew the secret of the Golden Trio but it was still a fulfilling (although maybe a bit frustrating) ending.
F in the chat for Alexander tho. Man shot his shot.
