Excel spends his days trying to seem like an unremarkable American teenager. When he’s not working at The Pie Who Loved Me (a spy-themed pizza shop) or passing the time with his girlfriend, Sab, (occasionally in one of their town’s 17 cemeteries), he carefully avoids the spotlight. But Excel knows that his family is far from normal. His mother, Maxima, was once a Filipina B-movie action star who now makes her living scamming men online. The old man they live with is not his grandfather, but Maxima’s lifelong martial-arts trainer.

I loved this book!
Revisado: 06-18-21
I loved this book so much! The story of Excel, an undocumented Filipino immigrant, who was born on a plane between Manilla and US and his former B action-movie actress mother Maxima was so engaging and rich. We need more books like this, both in terms of depth and representation. The narrator is wonderful! One of the best I've encountered with my audible subscription!
