Love the mystery, the sense of adventure, the taut storyline. Beautiful writing and a reckoning with family and identity through the lense of an an Asian American adoptee. I love memoir that reads almost like fiction, and this hit the mark! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

i did not finish this book. The writing was excellent although there are a lot of sentences that were SO long and meandering it became frustrating to read. Most likely others won't have this issue. I just wasn't gripped by the story or invested in the outcome enough to keep reading. I don't post negative reviews, so I'm just sharing this here.
