Thuy Nguyen is your typical spoiled rich international student in her freshman year of college, except she is depressed and cannot stop taking naps to escape from the flashbacks of her emotionally traumatic childhood. When she is not napping, she uses hook-up sex to fill the empty void inside her heart. Oscar, a Senegalese-American classmate of Thuy, is her complete opposite: he is stable, career-minded and has an optimistic outlook on life. For the summer, Thuy wins a summer grant to Paris, where she researches an obscure Vietnamese painter. In Paris, she gets caught up in an intense love affair with an older married man. When Oscar pays Thuy a visit, Thuy's life becomes even more emotionally chaotic and confusing than she can handle. Will she choose Oscar despite fearing that the other shoe will drop if she feels emotionally supported for the first time in her life? Is the stable, hard-working immigrant in Oscar going to be happy with the fickle, ever so erratic Thuy?

A teenager from Hanoi, Vietnam studies abroad to escape her relationship with her mother. The story takes place while she‘s in college in North Carolina. She‘s in a funk and depressed and deals with her feelings through napping. I liked this novel a lot more than expected. It‘s a short and fast read. There were a handful of typos throughout the book, but didn‘t take away from the reading experience. Wasn‘t crazy about the ending.
