I liked the illustrations and how the three stories came together in the end. As a biracial Taiwanese person, it was really hard to read through all the racism and slurs used in this graphic novel.
Graphic: Racism, Racial slurs, Xenophobia, Bullying, Cultural appropriation, and Violence
Moderate: Misogyny, Sexism, and Vomit
Minor: Antisemitism
