I’m loving mystery/thriller again. This is like a Gillian Flynn style. This is a page-turner book. I love how everything falls into place.

Emotion-inducing book. At first it indulges you with the good memories of being a young adult. How we come about this world trying to make a living by pursuing our passions and finding ourselves engulfed with our friends’ lives and dealing with our past mistakes and regrets. This book is not for the faint of heart. Sometimes it takes courage to read one chapter; some chapters could trigger trauma. It is gut-wrenchingly painful. The details were graphically written. It has different perspectives from the various characters on how they cope with trauma; thriving for success despite the cruelty of life; and experience grief by the death of loved ones. It is bravely and cleverly written. The timelines are unpredictable - most of the story lines aren’t either. This is a must if you don’t want cliché written books. Overall, I highly recommend this book if you want to gain better understanding of the people around you and the world we live in.

Growing up as an Asian, her love-and-hate relationship with her mother is relatable. She is an excellent writer. I'm looking forward to her more literary creations.

It makes you want to live your life in the present and appreciate every little thing. I was enamored with the protagonist's relatable characteristics. It's a therapy-solution book. I absolutely love it.
