I am not quite finished with this book but wanted to write a review! I love reading this book because it reminds me of how I read when I was younger...always coming away from the experience having learned something of value. Whether increasing my vocabulary or a life lesson that brought change, it was time well spent. This book does all of that.
It brings you along the journey of relationships and how others cope with their decisions in life and how others view them from the outside...and does that matter, if so, what is the effect.? As well as questioning what love looks like.
The thick volume may look daunting, but this is such a wonderful read that I can't turn the pages fast enough to know what is going to happen next.
Thank You Min Jin Lee for writing this book and bringing such a heartfelt story that is definitely worth the time spent!
Now back to my reading Free Food for Millionaires!
I felt I needed to come back after finishing the book. While all I previously said held true...I was greatly disappointed in the ending. If it were a movie, I would have wanted to throw something at the TV when it ended! Such a limp ending for such a passionate story.

Min Jin Lee
(著)
Casey Han's years at Princeton have given her 'a refined diction, an enviable golf handicap, wealthy friends, a popular white boyfriend, and a magna cum laude degree in economics. But no job, and a number of bad habits...' The elder daughter of working-class Korean immigrants who run a dry cleaning shop in Manhattan, Casey inhabits a New York a world away from that of her parents. Ambitious, spirited and obstinate, she's developed a taste for a lifestyle - and a passion for beautiful hats and expensive tailoring - she hasn't the means to sustain. And between the culture to which her family so fiercely cling and the life she aspires to, Casey must confront her own identity, the meaning of wealth, and what she really wants from her future. As Casey navigates an uneven course of small triumphs and spectacular failures, a clash of values, ideals and ambitions plays out against the colourful backdrop of New York society, it's many layers, shades and divides.

レビュー
"Ambitious, accomplished, engrossing ... as easy to devour as a 19th century romance - packed with tales of flouted parental expectation, fluctuating female friendships and rivalries, ephemeral romantic hopes and losses and high-stakes career gambles" New York Times "This big, beguiling book has all the distinguishing marks of a Great American Novel: brilliant set pieces ... and a complex modern voice that seems to speak more clearly than most ... [a] remarkable writer." The Times "Exquisitely evoked ... an American story full of class struggle, rugged individualism, social status and the haves and have-nots. Most of all, it's an epic meditation on love ... in all its tenacious and painful glory" USA Today "Lee explores the most fundamental crisis of immigrants' children: how to bridge a generation gap so wide it is measured in oceans." The Observer "Take Zadie Smith's White Teeth, add the glamour of The Devil Wears Prada, and throw in a social commentary on modern identity crises" Eve
