This feels like a series of interconnected short stories rather than a novel. I found each one of the stories interesting, I was completely invested in each of the characters, and I like how the stories weave together to tell an intergenerational story of mothers and daughters. I didn't feel like each of the stories got a resolution, which was frustrating, because I wanted to know how each character ended up. Still, I really enjoyed reading the book.

I read this for school, it was okay. Decent for a school book, but would not finish it if I was reading it for myself.

I definitely should read more Asian authors' works. I related to the characters so so much.
