This book hits a wide range of emotional notes, from the giddy delight of falling in love to the heavy weight of trying to balance overwhelming and guilt-inducing parental expectations with personal autonomy. Readers who have grown up with first-generation immigrant parents will likely see aspects of their experience in Mei's story (even if their experiences aren't as extreme), but it's also a sympathetic window for those not of a similar background.
