“This book took me by surprise”
On Rotation brought out so many feelings that I don't know where to start. It may be heavy to some people. You will understand how much a child of an immigrant parent goes through but strides for the better. But I will say that you got to read this book.
I did not immediately fall for Angie as a female character. I found her a bit too selfish when her so-called boyfriend dumped her before meeting her parents for a special occasion. Everything was about how she felt about losing a boyfriend and facing her parents' expectations while balancing medical school. She avoided what people were saying, and it wasn't until she was going through something with her best friend that I realized how much pressure she felt.
She is the older child of immigrant parents that she has high expectations to meet. That's not something for me to understand since I'm the youngest child of immigrant parents. But now, I realize how much pressure an older child gets when you are the first child. You are expected to do what they say. That's something Angie struggles with. She is not happy at the moment. And she is trying to figure it out.
