It could've been great, but it felt short. Everything was shown on a surface level: the family dynamic, the relationship between Kath and Lily
(come on, Lily spent 60% of the book actively drooling over Tommy)
even Lily herself as a character. 

There were too many characters, and none were developed enough to be compelling. The history bit could've been great but ended up being disappointing.
For instance, I had expected the so-called Chinese communist group to be more imporgant, as well as the literal fact that Lily's father could've been deported any time


There was no purpose to the flashback chapters, I'm sorry.

The ending was AWFUL. I genuinely loved the second part, and the first part was fine, but the last chapters of the third part was horrible.
