There are so many aspects that I like about this because it is so much more than a love story. I loved the way this talks about the complexity of family, dating, friendships, and racism.
I read mixed reviews about this book after I finished it because I didn't want to let other people's opinions influence my own. I really enjoyed the story minus the love part of it but I understand that it needed to be there to move things along. I think that this isn't a love story but a coming of age of story for Frank, who is coming to terms with what it means to be Korean-American.
I enjoyed the way that Frank grapples with his identity and how he tries to mix both of his lives together. I also enjoy it when Frank doesn't understand why he does anything. I think it was very reflective of how a lot of teenagers feel at his age.
Something I didn't like at first but after thinking about it I love it is the way we don't really know any of the characters. We know them on a surface level and that's about it. Even Frank who is the main character in the story is a little bit of a mystery to us. I loved this because I felt like I was seeing people how Frank saw them. He didnt know the people in his life as well as he wanted to and that included himself.
