How to Break a Girl By Amanda Sung
Born in Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the trio's lives embody the multicultural fabric of Vancouver, where the author grew up as a 'satellite child' without parents. Each character carries part of her own life, weaving a collective narrative that's both intimate and relatable.
Think Sex and the City—if Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha were Asian Canadian immigrants navigating not just love and career, but the complexities of intergenerational baggage, cultural curveballs, and all the gendered nonsense the world throws at them. This isn't a sob story—it's the sisterhood and sass you love, with a sharper edge and a deeper heart.
At its core, this is a story of unbreakable female friendship. All aspects of each protagonist's life—family, love, and career—get shattered, rebuilt, and rebuilt again. As each heroine confronts her darkest fear, from one city to another, their transformation demonstrates a broader possibility: that even in the midst of everything, there is always room for redefinition and resilience.
Get ready for a wild ride where identity and dignity don't just survive—they steal the show!
