Game Changer - Deanna Faison (3.5 stars)


3.5 stars.


Thanks to Netgalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for providing the e-ARC.


Tropes: Immigrant-parents, multi-cultural, anxiety, second-chance, family-ties, best friend's-brother, young-adult


The author writes well. The book had the makings of an interesting storyline. Immigrant parents. Boy falls first and hard. Multi-cultural. From the blurb, it seemed like a good fit for me, but the fact that the main leads are in college meant that that's an age group that I do not relate to at this stage of my life. It reads more like a Young-Adult novel, so if that's your jam, you'll really like it.


The miscommunication did not make me a happy camper. It created unnecessary conflict and confusion. Unwarranted angst.  I wish it had been handled more gently and with nuance. 


Overall a nice and quick read.
