Wren’s Reviews > Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty > Status Update

I don’t know if this is the right book but I’d love a deeper dive into specifically the context and effects of age gap couples with a young Asian girl. I don’t know too many off the top of my head though

Ew not old guys going for the minor

How have I never heard about Kaila before?

Is Kaila going to address the Tiara hate here? I’m not sure if there’ll be a come together type moment, but I hope it’s not these two hating each other forever

As someone who somewhat grew up in a place with a number of Asians/Asian Americans, California AAPI culture baffles me. Like what do you mean there 25,000 people at that import car show?

Are you allowed to promo yourself at someone else’s event?

I didn’t know the history of eyelid surgery. Damn

“I didn’t realize then that I was reinforcing my otherness at the expense of my self worth and the identities of women who looked like me.”

This book needs some content warnings for this chapter

It’s nice that Kaila brings up that she learned from her mother, even if it wasn’t verbally taught
