Captivated from front to cover. I mean sure, do we need more stories that are this male-centered? Nah, but I enjoyed it's juxtaposition of identifying as southeast Asian and American while struggling to do so with both, and a post Vietnam War world was such a fitting backdrop.

Chapter 3 got me way too emotional and f'd up at this coffee shop

Great debut novel from Jamie--I'm especially a sucker for Cain and Abel allegories. Can't wait for what she has up next.
