absolutely loved this book. read it for class and thoroughly enjoyed it. it’s written like a script which is really fun, and it works incredibly well. shows an accurate and frustrating look at the asian-american experience both in and out of hollywood.

victor vale my beloved asexual........ i really liked this one but i have mixed feelings on the marcella plotline.... i think in combination with both eli and victor's plotlines there just ended up being a lot going on at one time.... that being said once the third act hits it's all smooth sailing from there i still get chills when i think about "run" "chase me"
