Loveboat, Taipei is without a doubt my favourite read of the year so far. Ever is a first generation Chinese-American and her parents gave up everything, including her father’s career to be a doctor, to bring her a better life full of opportunity in America. Counting their pennies, working odd jobs and being in a new environment for their children weighs heavy on Ever and the pressure to follow their dreams outweighs her passion for her own. I loved the friendships in this book, that were flawed and had to overcome struggles, and the romance in the book that really kept me torn between who was right for her. The family values and lessons throughout the book were also important and everything came together to make a compelling read that I was totally obsessed with.
