I really really loved Yellowface, one of the best books I’ve read in a long time and I couldn’t put it down! Finished it in 2 sittings and I had the thought that it was even more interesting because the author was Asian and was able to give a bit more insight into something more relatable to me culturally. Then realized that most of the books I read have white male/female protagonists and when I do read Asian books, it tends to focus on immigrant stories or have very serious themes and that’s why I’ve been in a slump.
I love Crazy Rich Asians, one of my favorite book series and I just read Kevin Kwan’s new novel Lies & Weddings which was pretty good too. Something light and fun would be very welcome.
Any suggestions?

If you like romance novels, anything by Helen Hoang
Celeste Ng recently wrote a book called [Our Missing Hearts](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60149573-our-missing-hearts)
Daughter of the Mood Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan was great! It’s fantasy/romance, but the fantasy isn’t super intense. It’s a pretty easy read.
Haven’t read it yet, but I bought Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier specifically because an Asian reviewer said that it’s about an average Asian main character just living her life and not about the immigrant/minority experienxe
