HUGE thank you to A4P (Asian American Alumni Association of Princeton) for selecting Mathey Girls for its very first book club!!
I loved chatting with fellow Tigers, alums from ‘79 to ‘22, about the novel. We discussed cross-generational experiences at Princeton; expectations in Asian American families; how amazing the Princeton Chinese language program is; the difference between being Asian American and being into Asian studies, and much more. It was a very personal discussion, and I came away with greater insight into myself as a writer (and, honestly, a human being).
As I told the group, I’ve been blown away by the reception for Mathey Girls. I never would have expected that my novel would be chosen for A4P book club (and definitely not its first!). I’m so grateful.
