Welcome to Litsy!

So far I can‘t put down this multi generational story following members of a Chinese American family, starting off in Y2K New York.

What I enjoyed the most about this book is the 3 different POVs, even though sometimes it took a little bit of adjusting from one to the other (this happened mostly with Nick).

The story centers around a Chinese-American family and how trying to shape fate affected them. I loved it. I loved the dynamics and how the author developed the characters and presented the story.

Read the first chapter and it looks promising… #NetGalley

If you‘re in the mood for a fantastic, literary read - this book is it! It reminded me of a steak & potatoes dinner; it has heft to it and was very filling, but didn‘t feel forced or insincere. Told from 3 POVs, this is a multigenerational saga that will keep you hooked. If you enjoyed her debut (“Goodbye, Vitamin”) I would definitely add this to your TBR 👍 Pub date is 4/30/2024

I really enjoyed Goodbye Vitamin, so I was excited to read her new one. This one is much longer, more sweeping. It‘s a multigenerational story told from multiple points of view, from the reeducation during Mao‘s Cultural Revolution to modern day US.
