I loved this so much. I was reading the whole time thinking of why maybe others wouldn't-- the stream of conscious narration, the open-endedness and the inability to relate to the ideas of family pressure, achievement and culture impressed on immigrants and first-generation Americans. Wang has these turns of phrase that just made me smile, even while I was hurting for her main character. It was beautiful and flowed so well. A powerful little book and one that I will carry in my feelings for a long time.
