Seriously life changing. Super short and changed the way I think about chores (“care tasks”) without being too condescending or trite. KC takes disabilities and functioning into account and that's what I needed, more than Kondomari teaching me to throw shit away to spark joy. I recommend this to anyone who lives in a home, fr.

Definitely better than the movie in its implications and brutality. It may not be as playful, but the overall message about the importance of our lack of control is really striking and thought-provoking. Action is exciting and well-paced. Really a fun read.

Honestly what a fun reading experience. I can genuinely say I had no idea what was going to happen next. I am usually apprehensive about series but I definitely want to read more Discworld and discover more of the world! Also a really good book to read to my future children.

A bit disappointing but compelling enough for me to finish. I think what interested me was that I found the main character (Robert) to be so clearly unlikable that it drew attention to the faults in the ways white America can interact with Asian immigrants. The biggest “oof” was him constantly referring to his ex-wife with an American name that HE gave her. It literally made me cringe every time I read the name. It does a good job of highlighting the trauma of immigration (that isn't often addressed from a first person point of view).

I felt like there were a lot of interesting story strings that ended up nowhere. I would read this author again, though. I really hope he writes from a Vietnamese/Asian person's point of view in his next novel because those parts were the strongest part of the novel.

This book is always going to be special to me. A story I really needed to hear when I was in high school. Hope.

I just love it. All characters have their own stories and questions and mistakes. I just felt like I could see all the characters in my past (especially my potential Jamie) and I felt love for this story that always needs to be told.
