This is a bright, buoyant story about a Vietnamese Canadian family struggling against the odds to thrive. Don’t let the commercial cover fool you, this book has depth, offers a fresh perspective and poses interesting questions. It’s also funny. I wanted a little more from each of the character arcs-it’s hard to fully dig in when there are 5 POVs but I enjoyed reading them. I’m still not sure how I feel about Jessica or Debbie’s ending…it left me really thinking. This book will stick with me.

Short Summary: When the Starbucks of nails moves in down the street, the Tran family must do everything they can to keep Sunshine Nails afloat. And I. Mean. Everything.
