#AAPIHeritageMonth
blurb

Next row in my #readinglogsnake is The Fortunes of Jaded Women. Read this in honor of #AAPIHeritageMonth. Also, this is my first general fiction book, so I have picked the color green to represent it. This tells the story of how a curse and generational trauma follows the Duong women through centuries and impacts their lives today. Highly recommend. 4/5 ⭐️ #ARRCReads #BooksAndCrafts

Just when I thought I couldn‘t love this book any more, my favorite indie bookstore (the one where I bought the book!) gets a shout out in the Acknowledgements at the end. So meta.
🇵🇭
This book is equal parts coming-of-age, family drama, mystery, travel journal, history lesson, and social commentary. Plus the pacing is perfect. Highly recommend!
