"A family-run Chinese restaurant in Detroit that operated from the 1940s through 2000, it serves as the intimate setting and emotional center of a restaurant-kid memoir. The author's vivid writing recreates scenes of siblings hanging out, the ebb and flow of customers, and the everyday rhythms of running a neighborhood eatery, using those details to explore family dynamics, encounters with racism, and his own struggles with sexuality. The storytelling balances earnestness and levity, and the author's audiobook narration is singled out as particularly engaging." - Amy McCarthy
