Twenty-one-year-old Reed is fed up. Angry about the killing of a Black man by an Asian American NYPD officer, he wants to drop out of college and devote himself to the Black Lives Matter movement. But would that truly bring him closer to the moral life he seeks? In a series of intimate, charged conversations, his mother—once the leader of a Korean-Black coalition—demands that he rethink his outrage, and what it means to be an organizer, a student, an ally, an American, and a son. As Reed zips around Los Angeles with his mother, he faces a revelation that will change everything.

Scott Takeda has an ambiguously jocular voice that is perfect for the book’s dead serious and hilarious tone. Dialogues are well-written and Takeda performs them well and I was also clear on who is speaking what. The story takes place within a span of week when Reed, our Ivy League-attending protagonist, returns home to Koreatown of Los Angeles to visit his dying grandmother, meanwhile inquiring about his parents’ revolutionary past. The story arc is a predictable yet no less satisfying ones, and Wong can really craft vivid and memorable scenes. The story is full of drama, wit and playfulness on a serious topic. Enjoyed this a lot.
