It was an interesting read. Had a little to say about the nature of grief and how loss impacts us. Definitely a toxic relationship but, as that was that point, it is an interesting one to read about.

Moderate: Xenophobia
As some other reviewers have noted, the way China and the Chinese are written here seems to border on being fetishizing and xenophobic. I'm not Chinese, so take it with a grain of salt coming from me, but there was an exoticising of the people, for lack of a better word.
