In Chia-Chia Lin’s debut, The Unpassing, we meet a Taiwanese immigrant family of six struggling to make ends meet on the outskirts of Anchorage, Alaska. The father, hardworking but beaten down, is employed as a plumber and repairman while the mother, a loving, strong-willed, and unpredictably emotional matriarch, holds the house together. When 10-year-old Gavin contracts meningitis at school, he falls into a deep, nearly fatal coma. He wakes up a week later to learn that his little sister Ruby was infected, too. She did not survive.

- Good 7/10
- Easy to read hard to understand 7/10
- The father " A @#%& !@#$%&* irresponsible !@^&#^& of @&#&*@, but you have to give him credit he tries.
- Ending 10/10 made me cry
Overall the book is sad, and the story is of immigrants with a lot of personality issues. And many many things that are not said but happened. [As an example in chapter 2 the author says how they were in a weird dream and were cold, this meant that they were in coma at the hospital]
