this is a book about a family nail salon sabotaging the chain that opens up across the street.

as someone who is a fan of both pranks and supporting small business, i just hope the happy ending does not involve learning some kind of lesson about how crime is bad.

worse, it's not really about sabotage at all � more about kind of upsetting hijinks and financial errors committed by a family trying their best.

it aims for a lot, like separate plotlines and happily ever afters for each of the 5 family members we follow and themes of gentrification, family, immigration, community, and success.

as you can imagine it didn't quite stick the landing on everything.

but it wasn't a bad read, and it made me really hungry for vietnamese food. that's good enough in my book.

bottom line: pretty good!
