It's nice to see the increase of Asian American books in the library, but sadly this is one I lost patience with. The main character, Claire, is inquisitive and driven to find out secrets from her past, and I like the concept of it being a large group of her brothers and friends who are helping her. But the collection of teenaged brains don't seem to amount to much intelligence, and the main character goes around making a lot of baseless accusations, assumptions, and unwittingly endangers herself in her headlong rush to break secrets out in the open. I suppose the parents are to blame as well for insisting to keeping her in the dark. 
 There is some willful girl cluelessness over how her best friend and neighbor is hopelessly in love with her, despite how handsy and affectionate he is, but I went with it until he finally mans up and confesses to her. Which actually wasn't that bad either....until he kept talking. And talking. (do people make love speeches??? on the fly??) Then their relationship descends into schmooching and PDA, and it's all rather sickening. Claire continues to make run amok with her own investigations, not sharing or trusting the man who raised her most her life. By this point, I was skipping whole pages, and I figured I might as well stop trying to finish reading.
