BATB score: 7.7/10 🇺🇸

this book makes you proud to be Asian #asianpride

Best to: a book that more than half of the world's population can relate 🌏 61% of the world to be exact - I am just that kind of Asian 🤓; our tough love upbringings, the American culture shock, our parents' expectations of a thousand successes, the "Pursuing your dreams is for losers. Doing what you love is how you become homeless."

Best for: 'have yet to make your parents proud' Asians, Asian immigrants, Asian exchange students, crazy rich Asians, American-born-Asian, and kung fu pandas

Best as: "My mission is not to avoid playing an immigrant; my mission is to make Asian immigrants as sexy as Ryan Gosling." and yes Jimmy O. Yang, you did it with your role with Love Hard #Netflix 💕

Best quotes: "It's satisfying to cross out a goal, but it's even more exciting to write down new ones."

"This really is the land of opportunity, but most Americans just don't see it because they're simply too used to it. They don't appreciate it and they don't take advantage of it as much as people who move here from other countries do."
