I remember reading The Unhoneymooners + My Favourite Half-Night Stand and just being in love with Christina Lauren. Love + Other Words killed me emotionally. The Soulmate Equation is probably my favourite of the modern books but honestly this book was SO SO very good; it’s a new favourite book (of all time). It made me laugh. It made me emotional. I really don’t like rich people problems or stories in general but Anna really made it relatable + interesting. 🫶🏻

Should an African American be writing about the Japanese experience — especially one as complex as this story? I’m unsure. A beautiful story of survival but maybe coming from the wrong voice.
