Wow! What a powerful memoir!

As an Asian American female, I was super intrigued by the premise of this memoir. It did not disappoint!

The memoir is told through a series of essays, which worked so well. Each essay was well crafted and blended personal experience with research. It dove deep into how Asian women have been fetishized throughout history and the media.

Scavenger hunt: gold

I picked up my finished projects today… I love how they turned out!

It covers boba drinks and traditional Asian tea drinks like matcha, chai, Thai tea, turmeric tea and horchata (Mexican, Spanish).

A cozy and heartwarming book about new beginnings, new hobbies and new friends.

I‘m so happy I saw a review for this book in the paper

This was a moving family drama!

The book starts off strong. The story is about 3 sisters who reunite at their home on the Japanese coast. Immediately, I was invested in the story and the scandal involving the youngest sister. The ending was also very strong. It was touching and packed an emotional punch. However, the middle of the book was slow and dragged on.
