Your hosts discuss Light From Uncommon Stars, a definitely-not-magical-realism novel by Ryka Aoki. They talk about misleading expectations, immigrant experiences told through food, and how the book really is as sweet as people say it is but you have to get to the ending for that payoff. Special features include Donuts, Lesbian Flirting, and Sex Positivity.
Content warning, this episode includes conversation about transphobia but no specific descriptions.
