Light Years from Home

This is a modern day family drama sci-fi with some light alien war aspects and it is my first book by Chen. At the end of the day, I needed the first 70% to be no longer than 25% - to me the main plot drivers are [IMO annoying] family drama, and not executed in a successful way like in the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee. I was satisfied with the last 30% though. I think those who have strained family relationships or who like to read interpersonal conflict might want to try this book.
