Lucky Seed by Justinian Huang is a ridiculous romp of a read.
cover blurb - Succession meets Crazy Rich Asians in this chaotic, darkly funny saga about the lengths a wealthy family will go to ensure the birth of a male heir from the gay black sheep of their clan.
Re-read that sentence. Now, just picture how ridiculous that statement is for life. The billionaire Sun clan is nuts. Powerful struggling aunties, emasculated uncles, scheming cousins, scandalous secrets, and a fortune teller on retainer.
This book is hilarious, nutso, probably has a touch of reality beyond normal peoples comprehension, and is a fun read. It's total escapism, written with a wink and a nod. The family characters are hilarious, sad, pathetic, and yet, empathetic.
Altogether it's about finding and connecting the right love, making it work, and continuing family traditions (albeit with the right grace note).
Pure mind candy and that's okay. Enjoy!
