Nothing But the Truth
Nothing But the Truth: (and a Few White Lies) | Justina Chen, Justina Chen Headley
1 post | 2 read
DESCRIPTION: Hapa (Half Asian and half white) Patty Ho has never felt completely at home in her skin. Life at House Ho is tough enough between her ultra-strict Taiwanese mom (epic-length lectures and all) and her Harvard-bound big brother. But things get worse when a Chinese fortuneteller channels Patty's future via her bellybutton...and divines a white guy on her horizon. Her mom then freaks out and ships her off to math camp at Stanford. Just as Patty writes off her summer of woe, life starts glimmering with all kinds of probabilities. Written with the perfect balance of humor, poignancy, and sharp wit, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (and a few white lies) is the debut of a bright new talent.

I liked this book. It‘s more than just dealing with the culture clash of having mixed parents with different cultures growing up. It was something that even if your not from mixed cultures you can understand. She is a very good writer.
