Popping in to say if you have a hard time empathizing with Claire's mom, her viewpoint is hard to understand if you're not the child of immigrants. A good example of Claire's mom's viewpoint is Eric's dad in Sex Education on Netflix. I don't remember who said it but our parents came to survive and that's what they know. They sacrificed everything for a better chance for their children. They aren't used to chasing joy

I'm starting to get into the book. It started out slow and I felt so detached and apathetic.

I don't know what is going on with my phone, the app I'm reading this eARC on, or the actual file itself but there's a weird amount of missing letters in sentences that does not seem like a mistake an author or editor would allow to happen. Also I'm getting used to the PocketBook app and would appreciate any tips or tricks anyone has because I'm very lost when it comes to how to make the most of PocketBook.

This is my first ARC ever so I'm not sure what to expect, editing wise, especially since it's an eARC. I like how the author includes Tagalog and broken English. (My mom's side is Viet but I don't really speak Viet so there's something comforting about the lack of translation, instead relying on the few words I understand to glean the meaning of the sentence.)
