This book felt a lot longer than its 350 pages, despite being well written. I can't figure out why – it had compelling characters, the story moved around from NYC to upstate NY to Texas and China, the dialogue was often snappy and funny. And yet, I had to renew it twice from the library to finish it.

In any case, it does a good job giving a real feel for experiences I've never lived and that are probably all too common in America in the year 2020. At its heart it's a story about family and identity.
