Acerca de esta escucha

This “insightful, moving story with striking depth” (Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author) follows a Vietnamese Canadian family in Toronto who will do anything to protect their no-frills nail salon after a new high-end salon opens up—even if it tears the family apart.

Vietnamese refugees Debbie and Phil Tran have built a comfortable life for themselves in Toronto with their family nail salon. But when an ultra-glam chain salon opens across the street, their world is rocked.

Complicating matters further, their landlord has jacked up the rent and it seems only a matter of time before they lose their business. They enlist the help of their daughter, Jessica, who has just returned home after a messy breakup and a messier firing. Together with their son, Dustin, and niece, Thuy, they devise some good old-fashioned sabotage. Relationships are put to the test as the line between right and wrong gets blurred. Debbie and Phil must choose: do they keep their family intact or fight for their salon?

“Sharp, witty, and warmhearted, [Mai] Nguyen’s debut tackles gentrification, small business ownership, prejudice in the workplace, and—most importantly—the depth of familial ties, and the power of a good manicure” (Shelf Awareness).

Editorial Review

Nailed it!
As someone who once spent an entire summer giving myself a manicure every other day to sharpen my skills, I am very much a lover of all things nails. That said, I do like to occasionally book an appointment to let an expert create perfectly gleaming talons. Hence, my immediate interest in this debut from Mai Nguyen that pits a mom-and-pop nail shop run by a Vietnamese Canadian family against a gentrifying franchise behemoth coming to steal customers and endanger their livelihood. Woven into this tale of family and work is a view of the varied immigrant experience, showing how it can shape fortunes, identities, our closest relationships, and the decisions we are forced to make. I’m loving this full cast recording and plan to take it with me along for the ride on an upcoming summer road trip! —Kelley S., Audible Editor

Great story!

Love a good story about family from different cultures. Reminded me of growing up with Vietnamese neighbors in HUD housing.

cute, fun, easy listening summer read

fun book, woth great storyline. my only complaint about this book was the narration of the character Phil. It was so over the top of putting on Asian accent that it was almost offensive.

Great read and very relatable for Asian Americans. Loved the story line and the narrators did well in conveying the story.

Not much really happens in the story. And character development not awesome. Very superficial knowledge of each character

Great Characters

I loved this wonderful story about immigrants trying to live the American dream. The characters were well developed. This book had a good ending but I would like a continuation of this story, and isn’t that what a great book does - has you thinking about the characters long after the book has ended. The narrators were fantastic. More, by this author and narrators, please.

Sweet fun story with good narrators

This is a nice story about family and struggle. The experience of immigrants is a strong theme without being too dark or preachy. The narrators are good. I have mixed feelings about the ending.
I’m really surprised that this isn’t a top seller. I found it as an editor pick and I’m really glad that I did. I’d definitely read more by this author.
