Front Desk by Kelly YangMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the story. I am sometimes worried when a book tries to take on too many problems at one time, but all of the different side problems in this instance are tied together neatly into one whole. Rather than distracting, they show different aspects of the same problem and how they differently effect each person. It could easily have slipped into tokenism (one black man, one white woman, one Latino friend, etc.), but it didn't feel like that. It doesn't have the depth that would make it an all time classic for me, but it certainly is worthy.
