hello friends! another month has passed, which means it’s time for another book for subtle asian book club!! for those of you who don’t know, i started the book club with tiffany a few months ago. the book club has become a place of positivity for my… mildly stressed self. please join if you haven’t yet!!
but anyway, the book we’re reading is…
The Way You Make Me Feel, by Maurene Goo !!

goodreads • amazon • book depository
y’aaaaaall i’m so ready. The Way You Make Me Feel is one of my faves ever!!! i raved about it years ago, so i cannot wait to revisit it.
the story is a feel-good summer contemporary comfort book that i think we all need at the moment. it’s set in LA and i’m honestly very (very) biased towards it because of it. in a time of quarantine, i’m nostalgic for my city and my home when (get this) we’re stuck in our homes. i want to remember sunny days on the streets of the suburbs and the smell of street food. okay, reality isn’t like that but A GIRL CAN DREAM AT A TIME LIKE THIS.
here’s the reading schedule:
- 4/1 to 4/11: chapters 1 to 10
- 4/12 to 4/18: chapters 11 to 20
- 4/19 to 4/26: chapters 21 to 30
- 4/27 to 4/30: chapters 31 to 36
Sold! I love L.A. and my home is in the 818! I read your old review that you linked us to and it sounds like a good book. I was able to download an ebook from the L.A. Public Library and can’t wait to start reading!
Hi! I don’t have a facebook account to see the Subtle asian book club discussions, but I have read the book of the month and it was such a nice reading during my quarentine days… I just don’t know what is the book of this month of May. Are you going to write a post about it?
