March 2018 when first adding the book to wishlistI'll be reading Chen's debut [b:Soy Sauce for Beginners 17346827 Soy Sauce for Beginners Kirstin Chen https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1363657440l/17346827.SY75.jpg 24086983] before this (it's on the tbr soon pile!), but I really enjoyed this article about the author's concern on whether she had the right to write the story she was planning for this, her sophomore novel: Am I Chinese Enough to Tell This Story? - https://lithub.com/am-i-chinese-enough-to-tell-this-story/4 years later, July 2022, and I have finally read the book...A really good read and preferred ito her debut from what I remember. Seeing what I wrote above reminds how many good books have been stranded on my wishlist for far too long.
