It’s got a happy ending! At times it can be sad given the context of the story

I remember that we have to read The Joy Luck Club in high school. I hated it. Not the book but the task. Reread it again after almost a decade. Bawled like a baby. So sad tho that I didn’t enjoy it the first time around. I would’ve aced that subject. To my high school English teacher: I’m sorry. I now love the books you required us to read.

I read The Joy Luck Club when I was a teenager. I think it was the first novel that I truly connected to so much so that it made me actually cry. Definitely read it.
