Overall this was a great book. The pacing was great and I was engaged all the way up until the end. Things felt a little slow by the end. The character development was great I felt a connections to the group of friends and found myself wishing I had a Chinese grandma like Vera. The underlying message of taking your family for granted really hit home. My mom has some similarities to Vera and I could see myself as Tilly, and this reminded me to be grateful for all her well meaning idiosyncrasies.
