Waiting on Wednesday – Spotlight on The Wangs vs. the World
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about.
My “Waiting On” Wednesday selection for this week is The Wangs vs. the World by Jade Chang. I’m excited for this one because it just sounds like it has the potential to be a wild and entertaining ride.
The Wangs vs. the World by Jade Chang
Publication Date: October 4, 2016
From Amazon:
Charles Wang is mad at America. A brash, lovable immigrant businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune, he’s just been ruined by the financial crisis. Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family’s ancestral lands—and his pride.
Charles pulls Andrew, his aspiring comedian son, and Grace, his style-obsessed daughter, out of schools he can no longer afford. Together with their stepmother, Barbra, they embark on a cross-country road trip from their foreclosed Bel-Air home to the upstate New York hideout of the eldest daughter, disgraced art world it-girl Saina. But with his son waylaid by a temptress in New Orleans, his wife ready to defect for a set of 1,000-thread-count sheets, and an epic smash-up in North Carolina, Charles may have to choose between the old world and the new, between keeping his family intact and finally fulfilling his dream of starting anew in China.

But I will have to wait until November because that’s when it comes out in UK (+ they have prettier cover in my opinion).
Yay, I hope we both enjoy it! And it seems like the UK almost always has better covers than we do.
